My MRI shows a partial tear in the ACL femoral attachment with some axis changes, plus a grade 2 tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus reaching the capsular surface. I've got pain, swelling, popping sounds, and can't walk properly. Do I need surgery for this, or can it heal on its own? What are my options for recovery?

A partial ACL tear with axis changes and a grade 2 medial meniscus tear, especially with pain, swelling, and difficulty walking, likely requires a combination of conservative and potentially surgical treatment. While some ACL tears can heal with conservative management, the meniscus tear and the severity of your symptoms suggest a surgical approach might be necessary. It's crucial to consult with an orthopedic specialist for a personalized treatment plan.
