Lesions greater than 2.5 cm2 should be treated with sophisticated techniques, such as autologous chondrocyte implantation or osteochondral autologous transplantation, while microfracture is a good first-line treatment option for smaller (&lt;2.5 cm2) lesions. Patients who are active show better results after autologous chondrocyte implantation or osteochondral autologous transplantation when compared with microfracture. Younger patients (&lt;30 years) seem to benefit more from any form of cartilage repair surgery compared with those over 30 years of age.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Lesion size, activity level, and patient age are factors that should be considered in selecting treatment of articular cartilage lesions of the knee.
