Question

I have a full thickness grade 3 tear in the mid segment of my ACL and was told I need surgery. Is there any chance this can heal with just meds or other treatments without going under the knife? How long would recovery take if I don't get surgery?

Grade 3 ACL tear won‚Äôt heal fully without surgery; non-op rehab may offer some support, but risk of instability remains‚Äîsurgery ensures full recovery in active individuals.
