A cartilage defect is an area of damaged cartilage. The cause of a cartilage defect can be due to trauma, osteonecrosis, osteochondritis, and other conditions.
Partial thickness defects arise when only the articular cartilage layer is damaged; the degradation and loss of the ECM proteoglycans and collagen fibrous networks follow after the trauma.
Krych, M.D., "Full-thickness defects do not heal spontaneously and have limited ability to heal due to declining function of chondrocytes and the avascular nature of cartilage. Untreated, these lesions can progress to more-serious degenerative joint conditions."

Focal cartilage damage is an area of articular cartilage injury caused by degenerated or damaged cartilage on what was once a normal joint surface. These areas of deteriorated cartilage can lead to pain, secondarily decreasing normal range of motion and function.
Cartilage loss is defined by a decrease in cartilage volume and thickness. It occurs after cartilage wears away or deteriorates. With the cartilage loss of severe osteoarthritis, the joint space narrows and bone rubs on bone after cartilage loss occurs (sometimes referred to as bone-on-bone).
Articular cartilage is the smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints. Healthy cartilage in our joints makes it easier to move. It allows the bones to glide over each other with very little friction.
Articular cartilage is the dense, fibrous cartilage cap that covers the ends of bones within the joint. In the knee, articular cartilage covers the lower end of the femur (thigh bone), the upper end of the tibia (shin bone), and the undersurface of the patella (knee cap).
The most common form of cartilage degeneration and loss seems to occur. through a process of “fibrillation” or splitting of the tissue. This usually com- mences as surface roughening., a focal, patchy phenomenon, often found initially. in the marginal non-weight-bearing parts of the joint surface (Freeman and.
