Lightbulb Slightly OT - Knee Surgery

As many of us on the Forum have talked about our knee pain(s) and knee surgery (guilty x 2), I thought this to be an interesting article:

Most Popular Knee Surgery Is a Big Waste for Many - Study: arthroscopic surgery as good as fake surgery for some meniscus tears

I remember my first surgery to replace my ACL, my surgeon actually said that if I didn't want to do any athletics, and do much side-to-side activity for my remaining years, I didn't need an ACL/surgery.

I stand behind my partial meniscus tear surgery too as scar tissue fixed after #1 surgery is much better now.

Any doctors try to talk you out of surgery or tell you it wasn't needed?
