What is the best treatment for damaged knee cartilage?

Depends: There are several factors involved. The location of the damaged cartilage is important. The extent of damage is paramount. Several surgical options exist depending on the specific diagnosis. I would suggest consultation with orthopedic surgeon to get proper workup and discuss options.

Articular/meniscal: For meniscus-surgery. For articular- weight loss, bracing, pt, hyaluronic acid injections, surgery if all else fails.
