In plain terms, it is a \u201cpothole\u201d in the smooth joint surface, sometimes with weakened or injured underlying bone. It is most commonly discussed in the knee, but it can also occur in other joints such as the ankle. Clinicians use the term in orthopedic and sports medicine settings to describe a specific type of joint surface injury and to guide evaluation and treatment planning."}
