In a study at Baylor College of Medicine, researchers divided of group of patients who needed arthroscopic knee repair into two groups. One group got the arthroscopic surgery. The other group got sham surgery, whereby the holes were made for the scopes, but no scope was actually inserted. This second group did not receive any type of knee repair.

Both groups of patients were equally pleased with the results.
