Abstract
Cartilage defects of the knee are a common problem that can be caused by trauma or chronic repetitive overload and result in debilitating functional limitations. These consequences are of particular significance to military service members, who, by in large, are a group of young, active individuals with professional duties requiring full, unrestricted activity and function. The burden of knee chondral-related disease among military tactical athletes is well established, and systematic approach to the evaluation of a military member with suspected knee chondral pathology facilitates the execution of a surgical procedure that maximizes the likelihood of a return to duty. Despite advances in cartilage restoration surgery, chondral pathology of the knee remains a vexing problem and an omnipresent threat to military medical readiness and warfighter lethality.
