Summary

This study follows 130 adults who had knee cartilage repair surgery to see how their knee function and MRI scans look afterward. Researchers want to collect more data on what happens after these surgeries, since there isn't much information available. Participants will have regular check-ups and MRI scans to track their recovery.
