Clinical data important: We would need more to go on this. An ulcer could be due to injury or degenerative arthritis or even postinflammatory. How is this diagnosed? Who told you there was an ulcer? What kind of testing did you have and why? The answer will depend on what your clinical data is.

Can cause knee pain: Knee cartilage ulcers are an injury to the hyaline cartilage that lines the ends of bones at joints. Cartilage injuries can occur due to sports trauma or due to cumulative injuries to the knee as we get older. If you have a focal lesion, you should have it treated surgically since you are 26, and if you have pain. If you don't, you may develop arthritis in the future, or have knee pain. Many good minimally invasive surgical options exist to treat cartilage injuries. Check this link for more info. http://nycsportsmed.com/osteochondral-defects.html.
