It is good when these problems start to avoid impact sports, even pickleball. I think the notion that having arthroscopic surgery causes osteoarthritis is a myth. You get arthritis or you don't, but it's not caused or is a result of surgery IMO.

I agree with you completely regarding surgery causing or not causing arthritis.
My surgeon was very specific that my upcoming surgery will not have anything to do with my arthritis, which is in each compartment in my knee, but is to clean up the significant tear and smaller tear. The arthritis is a separate issue. He said gel injections or PRP is in my future, though.

Have a good day!
