    AbstractArticular cartilage defects are common and play a significant role in degenerative joint disease. Cartilage is unable to regenerate, secondary to an inherent lack of vascular supply, thus, various techniques have been described in an attempt to treat and potentially restore these defects. Treatment decisions should be based on appropriate evaluation and classification of the pathology. Only then can the surgeon choose to perform a repair or a restoration of the articular surface. Current literature and techniques for the treatment of articular cartilage defects are reviewed, with an algorithm developed for the management of articular cartilage defects by orthopaedic surgeons.
