Interesting - thanks! OTOH, "Runner's Knee" does seem to be a serious condition affecting a lot of people (much like "Fencer's Knee", which I'm more familiar with). From the same subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/running/comments/3hx43k/how_i_cured_my_runners_knee/ https://www.reddit.com/r/running/comments/3hx43k/how_i_cured... https://www.reddit.com/r/running/comments/26jaax/3_years_ago_i_blew_out_my_knee_in_a_marathon/ https://www.reddit.com/r/running/comments/26jaax/3_years_ago... https://www.reddit.com/r/running/comments/1gdw5l/can_i_fix_my_runners_knee/ https://www.reddit.com/r/running/comments/1gdw5l/can_i_fix_m... And a number of people, when discussing the problem, reference bad technique as a causative factor. However, you're absolutely right that it seems there's little evidence for permanent damage.
