It emphasizes the importance of differentiating stable and unstable lesions and the need for imaging studies to determine instability. The speaker discusses various surgical treatment options, including in situ fixation and drilling, open deep curatage and bone grafting, and cartilage resurfacing techniques such as osteochondral autograft transfer system (OATS) and matrix-associated chondrocyte implantation (MACI).
