How can I tell if my right knee ACL injury needs surgery and how do I figure out how severe the injury is
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To determine if your ACL injury requires surgery, and its severity, a doctor will typically use a combination of your symptoms, physical examination, and imaging tests like X-rays or MRI. A complete tear or severe instability usually indicates a need for surgery, while minor tears may be managed with physical therapy.

View allHad ACL surgery back in December 2017 and wondering if it's okay to start heat therapy on it now? Not sure if it's too late or if it'll still help with any lingering stiffness or discomfort. What do you think?
I recommend starting with physiotherapy and painkillers to manage your condition. If there's no significant improvement after a reasonable period, we can then consider surgical options.

6 weeks post ACL surgery and my physiotherapist keeps forcefully bending my knee during home visits, causing intense pain. He increases the bend every day with more pressure and also compresses my knee while elevating my leg from the ankle. Is this normal or is he being too aggressive with the recovery process?
Pain from physio should be tolerable; forceful passive bending early on may harm—consider a second opinion.
