I had the right knee done 3 years ago and the left one is due next month.
As my doctor explained the proceedure to me, he said that for young
athletes,
they did a very nic and tidy tuck and repair, but for old farts like me,
they
just snipped off the offending part and threw it away.
I told him I was glad he was not my urologist.

I more or less asked the same question, the doc said "there are repairs we
can
do that will work for years and repairs we can do that work for a season."
