Got an MRI report showing a complete tear of the medial patellar retinaculum with fluid buildup and swelling, plus a sprain in the ACL and MCL. There's also some bone marrow edema in the lateral femoral condyle and mild knee effusion. Really worried about surgery is there any way to heal this with meds or other treatments instead?

I had surgery for a calcaneum fracture in my left leg one and a half months ago with 4 K-wires inserted and have been on a fiber plaster since then. I can move around with a walker but now the K-wires need to be removed. Will I have to get admitted to the hospital again for another surgery to take them out?
With the review of the X ray ,orthopaedic surgeon will decide whether fracture is United or not? If the fracture is United then k wire can be remove on the opd basis . After the removal of plaster there may be stiffness in ankle joint which require ankle rom exercises
