No, but I've got a small meniscus flap from when I partially tore my ACL.

My knee surgeon advised me to crack on with life and see how things go. His reasoning was that it's always better to avoid having your knee inflated etc if at all possible. After about six months the flap stuck down and hasn't bothered me since.

Obvs YMMV!

Avoiding invasive treatment seems to be standard practice.

I have a fucked MCL and suspected torn / worn / frayed cartilage.

Treatment is to strengthen the muscles and work on neuromuscular conditioning.

Seems to be a good practice in my experience! Glad to hear that it is standard.

Of course, its guaranteed that what is left of my ACL will ping at the most inopportune moment requiring mountain rescue to get me home so there is that.
