Study Arms:
- Lavage debridement to remove loose fragments (Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR): Articular cartilage defect left untreated by surgical tool during partial meniscectomy
- Mechanical Debridement (Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR): Remove large chondral flaps and loose fragments
- RF based Debridement (Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR): Debridement to remove loose fragments followed by use of Paragon T-2 RF wand to smooth the base of the shoulder of the tear

Based on this trial design, predict the completion outcome and termination type (if applicable).
