My MRI shows a complete ACL tear with some tibial translation, plus meniscus tears in both medial and lateral parts, along with cartilage issues and joint effusion. Is surgery the only option for this or are there other ways to manage it? I'm worried about recovery time and whether PT could help instead

I have a horizontal tear in the posterior horn of my medial meniscus do I really need surgery for this or can it heal with just meds and physio

A horizontal tear in the posterior horn of your medial meniscus may or may not require surgery, depending on the size and location of the tear. Small tears in the "red-red" or "red-white" zones (with blood supply for healing) may heal with conservative treatment like rest, ice, compression, elevation, physical therapy, and pain medication. Larger tears or those in the "white zone" (no blood supply) are less likely to heal on their own and may require surgery.
