Knee Articular Cartilage Injuries in the National Football League: Epidemiology and Treatment Approach by Team Physicians
The Journal of Knee Surgery, 11/09/09

Brophy RH et al. – Approximately half of the injuries occurred in linemen, and the most common site of injury was the femoral condyle. Forty–six percent of these injuries were treated surgically, with slower return to play after surgery. Among team physicians, microfracture was the most popular treatment approach (43%), followed by debridement (31%) and nonoperative management (13%). More research is needed to compare long–term outcomes based on lesion size in these athletes.
