Proposed treatment algorithm related to cross‐section areas. Remember that in a recent study on MRI, the mean width of the medial condyle has been found to have a mean of 26.2 mm, and on the lateral condyle, the mean widths were 32.5 mm [103]. A defect with a cross‐sectional area of 1 cm² on the central part of one of the condyle is then a rather large defect. When treating cartilage defects, it is then important to understand the treatment choice's ability to fill up a defect with a repair tissue and by that unload the surroundings as well.
