My MRI shows bone marrow contusions in both femur and tibia condyles with moderate synovial effusion, a grade 2 ACL tear, horizontal tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, and grade 1 MCL sprain. I've been doing quad and ROM exercises at home for almost 2 months do I really need surgery or can I keep managing this without going under the knife

ortho opinion is advised to the patient at apollo hospital.

I'm a 22-year-old working in IT and just had surgery for a complete ACL tear and lateral meniscus tear in my left knee. The doctors did an ACL reconstruction and partial meniscectomy but didn't specify how much meniscus was removed. How serious is this and what are my chances of developing osteoarthritis later? Are there exercises I should avoid to protect my knee and do I need to follow any long-term precautions to prevent further damage?

The dry weight of Meniscus removed is generally not done. So to quantify the amount of Meniscus removed is difficult. But be sure that even after aggressive meniscectomy, peripheral rim of Meniscus still remains. You can do any exercise, running or jogging in a graded manner post ACL reconstruction and meniscectomy. Your life remains same post this surgery People with Meniscus repair have to be cautious , there is no problem with people with meniscectomy .
