After debridment of torn lateral meniscus, large ulcer defect at lateral femoral condyl (grade 2) is discovere, is't treatable? what are my options?

Yes and no: While the damage to the condyle is not a good thing, sometimes a chondroplasty, drilling procedures and various cartilage transplants might be helpful depending on the size of the lesion, your age and other factors in your knee.
