I had an accident 4 days ago and my MRI shows a PCL avulsion fracture at the back of the tibial spine with about 5mm elevation from the bone. My doctor said surgery isn't needed but I'm worried should I get a second opinion or is it okay to manage without surgery?

I have a grade 1 posterior medial meniscus tear will this heal on its own or do I need surgery? I'm worried about making it worse if I don't get the right treatment. What's the usual recovery time for something like this?

A grade 1 posterior medial meniscus tear often heals on its own without surgery, especially with rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) therapy. The usual recovery time for a grade 1 meniscus tear can range from 6 to 8 weeks, but this can vary. Surgery is usually not needed unless symptoms persist or worsen after a few months.
