you probably saw the finished study of partial arthroscopic meniscus repair I think there's a lot of Devils in the details that said it was interesting they gave some people sham surgery where they basically made an incision banged around like they perform surgery and sent them a physical therapy and they did as well as the people who are getting the surgery which is mind-boggling because everyone's doing something that seems like it has to work someone's got a knee pain you bring them in you give them imaging they've got a tear fix it how could that not work then I guess it turns out that some huge number of people have incidental tear that doesn't have anything to do with the knee pain the meniscal tear is a huge thorn in the side of the orthopedic specialty
