View allCan extraarticular ligaments like the MPFL and MCL actually heal on their own if they're partially torn or do they always need surgery to get back to normal I'm worried because I heard mixed things about blood flow in these ligaments affecting healing
Partial tears may heal with rest and physio; surgery is needed if instability or chronic pain persists.

I have a high grade partial ACL tear with grade 2 signal intensity in the posterior horn of my medial meniscus and a grade 2 LCL sprain. I'm unsure if I need surgery my main goal is to walk normally, cycle, and run without restrictions. I don't want to feel limited, but I'll do surgery if it's absolutely necessary. Can you help me understand if surgery is the only way to get back to normal?
It's understandable to want to know if surgery is the only path to your desired recovery goals. For a high-grade partial ACL tear, a grade 2 medial meniscus tear, and a grade 2 LCL sprain, surgery is not always necessary for full recovery and returning to activities like walking, cycling, and running, according to HSS. However, your specific situation and individual factors will determine the best course of action

YES, HE IS THE BEST QUALIFICATION FOR THAT.
