I've been struggling with forward bending for over 3 years due to my slightly forward L4 vertebra causing movement issues.

MRI scan shows a high-grade partial ACL tear in my left knee and some meniscus issues. The doctor is recommending arthroscopic surgery but I'm not sure if it's necessary.

I just got my MRI report and it shows a high grade partial thickness tear in my ACL with some retraction and a small bony avulsion near the tibial eminence. There's also mention of a chip fracture in the posterior tibial plateau with bone marrow edema. Can this heal on its own or will I need surgery? I'm really worried about the extent of the damage and what it means for recovery
