Well Dave,arthriscopic surgury is pretty simple as your Dr. inevitably will tell you. They will trim any freyed edges of torn tissue. You may have what I did which was a torn "miniscous" which is a cartilage "cup" on top of your lower leg bone ,that the ball of your upper leg bone seats on and helps keep it centered.Then after they repair all that,they "vacuum" out all the old bone "floaties" and garbage out so you have a nice clean joint. I'm sure I'm leaving out a lot, and you will eventually find that out. Mine is old and cartilage is gone and bones are just grating on each other."ouch" Needs total replacement probably towards winter this year.Good luck with yours.You are young enough that this would be a good move.Don't let it repair itself because in doing so it will build up scar tissue and cause problems later.
