Figure 5. X-Ray (A) and operative (B) views of a traumatic cartilage defect (osteochondral defect). A. While cartilage cannot be visualized on X-ray, a defect was suspected because of the displaced flake of bone (red arrow) that was avulsed with the cartilage fragment. B. At operation, the large region of the femur where the cartilage was torn away is clearly evident (black arrow). The cartilage was repaired and healed uneventfully.
