You can see two tears in the patellar articular cartilage (one looks like a hole, the other like a slit). The areas around the tears were cleaned up, some meniscal degredation was cleaned up, and a chunk of loose cartilage was taken out. A loose flap of cartilage near the femoral condyle was also taken off.
