Symptomatic chondral defects often lead to pain, swelling, and disability in affected patients. These sequelae are thought to be secondary not only to the poor repair response within the cartilage defect itself but also to the deleterious effects of the defect on the surrounding cartilage, which may predispose patients to developing osteoarthritis. Previous studies have shown that injury leads to morphologic changes and matrix degradation not only in the directly injured area but also in the surrounding cartilage Background: Chondral defects may lead to degradative changes in the surrounding cartilage, predisposing patients to developing osteoarthritis.
