Stage-appropriate treatment of joint cartilage damage aims to improve joint function and slow down or prevent the development of osteoarthritis. A deep understanding of biomechanical influences has led to more precise preoperative analyses, allowing for individual adjustment of therapies. Patient-specific factors such as age and activity level are considered. Diagnostic procedures like detailed medical history and modern imaging are essential to determine the extent of damage and plan effective treatment accurately. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
