No, but identical surgery to re-attach severed quad muscle tendon. No way to do that with an arthroscope.

You probably do. All I can claim is permanent suture that was used to attach my quad tendon back to the kneecap, through holes drilled through it. The surgeon tied a knot (surgeon's knot?) and it creates a noticeable bump under the skin. Won't be setting off any metal detectors with that.
