Good information and now that the report is out, be sure to ask questions, and then ask more questions! There could be 
more than one reason to have knee surgery too. BD
Surgeons take it as an article of faith that a chance to cut is a chance to cure. So it’s a pretty big deal when a study clearly shows that a common surgery doesn’t actually help certain patients. Even more so if the study is confirming similar results from a previous study.
That’s what happened this week, when the New England Journal of Medicine published a study that showed arthroscopic surgery doesn’t provide any benefit for moderate to severe arthritis of the knee.
