this is the actual surgery taking place. they used two different tools to take out the torn meniscus. this one is called the "biter" and as you can see, it bites the tissue and snips away large chunks. they also use a tool called the "chewer" but I don't have a picture of that. it is in the video though!

so you can see my femur on the top, my tibia (shin) on the bottom, and the yellow bit is the flap of torn meniscus.
