abstract="The return to play outcome is an important measure for orthopaedic sports medicine treatments. This variable is especially important when discussing cartilage  treatments because there are many different cartilage options available to athletes  with articular injuries and this population is particularly interested in the  ability to return to activities. Although many outcome variables are considered in  any surgical procedure, the return-to-sport variable is focused on an active  population and can be tailored to that patient's sport-specific goals. In this  article, we will review some of the most recent and up-to-date articles describing  return-to-sport outcomes for various knee cartilage treatments. This article will  focus on the most common current knee cartilage treatments including microfracture,  autologous chondrocyte implantation, osteochondral autograft transplant, and  osteochondral allograft transplantation.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
