Here's a rephrased version that meets your criteria: I just got my x-ray results showing a broken bone. Is surgery the only way to fix this or are there other options? Really worried about what comes next. This keeps it natural, drops formalities, and focuses on the concern without sounding robotic.

It's understandable to be worried when you hear about a broken bone. Surgery isn't always the only option, and many fractures can be treated with less invasive methods. Your doctor will consider the type of fracture, its location, and your overall health when determining the best treatment plan.

Is it safe to delay ACL surgery for 6 months because I have police training starting next month and don't want to miss it? What are the risks if I wait that long?

The more you can delay is six months. The time between ACL injury and surgery should be a minimum of one to two months. This is because around five to six months you will notice that you are no longer in a position to even walk and lift your legs. This will see you easily drag you to the orthopedic doctor for surgery
