    Abstract:
    These lesions present with a variety of symptoms and historical findings.A careful joint-specific examination and appropriate imaging studies can help direct the physician in the treatment of the patient who has a chondral,osteochondral, or osteochondritis dissecans lesion. Categorizing the patient based on the size of the lesion, physiologic age, and desired activity level can aid in determining which patients might succeed with nonoperative versus operative management.
