Trying to get a good grasp on what the future holds so I can make some decisions on how to best preserve what I've got left.



Microfracture surgery is being used more and more. Keeping at an ideal weight and staying in shape will help immensely. Personally I would wait until almost the last minute before I had artificial knee surgery.
