Possibly: Depending on the location and size of the "hole", there may be a role for some kind of cartilage transplantation, especially at your age. It still depends on any associated injuries, location and size. Usually, some kind of chondroplasty would have already been tried, so definitely get a sports medicine consultation. We can definitely help.
