Which tends to lead to bone on bone damage and total knee replacement later in life. Not always but it increases the likelihood.
My left knee has been scoped. The torn meniscus that they cut out does not grow back. Over time the meniscus get squished more and more, thinner and thinner.

I know two guys who have had total knee replacements. Both of them had meniscus surgery earlier in life. Not saying thats always the case but the two are related.
