The patellofemoral (PF) joint is a challenging location to repair cartilage. Although both osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) and autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) are established as standard therapies for cartilage repair, most treatment algorithms continue to favor ACI for the PF joint, which shows a high rate of success. Today, however, OCA is a treatment of choice to revise prior failed PF cartilage repair. The positive outcomes in this setting encourage indicating OCA for select primary cartilage repair patients, namely those with defects that are uncontained or osteochondral.

With the WHO stating that nearly 99% of the global population is exposed to air pollution levels that increase the risk of chronic diseases, the question of exercising in polluted environments is relevant to the health of athletes. Major sporting events held under conditions of poor air quality (AQ) have highlighted the lack of answers to concerns raised by organisers and athletes about the associated health risks. This evidence-based narrative review compiles current knowledge and identifies gaps regarding the relationship between AQ and sport. It is a summary of a more comprehensive report prepared for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Medical and Scientific Commission. This article discusses the various sources of air pollutants encountered during exercise, summarises current AQ guidelines and provides insights into AQ conditions during the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games (OPG) as well as in Los Angeles over the past four summers, in preparation for the 2028 OPG.
