They cut the tear part out and reshape the remaining meniscal cartilidge, they shave the associated bone if there are rough edges to help prevent longer term arthritis. The knee can be braced during activities such as running, playing sports etc, although this is not necessary, it is most likely advised for an NBA player to help prevent further damage. That's a bit more reassuring but I still would give up no more than AR |

7. Chris Paul
My least favorite trend of the No Benjamins Association era: teams twisting the truth about potentially serious injuries so they don't hurt ticket sales, or because they know the media won't challenge their stories and call them out afterward. After seeing Boston string Celtics fans along with KG's bum knee and the Clippers legitimately lie about Blake Griffin's knee injury, when I heard the Hornets claim CP3 would miss only "four to six weeks" after "minor" knee surgery, my BS Detector started beeping. Especially since we learned that doctors removed Paul's torn meniscus ligament rather than repairing it.
(Hold on, we have to wait for the Hornets fans to clear out that puke from their mouths. Waiting … waiting … OK, we're good.) I'm tired,I'm tired, I'm so tired right now......Kristaps Porzingis 1/3/18

I have read reports that its was a partial removal and the entire removal of the meniscus. However, Will Carrol from Baseball Prospectus addresses the long term implications of a partial removal in the portion of the Bill Simmons article I just posted.
