I currently am rehabbing a meniscus issue (maybe torn, maybe not). The PTs are doing a great job strengthing me for the season. Two plate games and results are slow but good. My doctors are advising a conservative approach "strengthen before trying surgery". My primary is clearer "let no one touch your knee unless absolutely necessay". But I agree with everyone else...every case is different trust your MD.
On a future note, some athletic sub-60 year olds are being advised around here (Boston) to delay on whole replacement as there are less drastic, better procedures on the near horizon...although I saw what miracles the surgery did for my Dad.
