I had an accident a few years back and the doctor said it was just a bone fracture but the issue came up again last year when a scan showed minuscules and a torn ligament do I really need surgery or can this heal on its own
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Whether surgery is needed for a meniscus and a torn ligament depends on the severity of the damage, your symptoms, and your overall health. Minor tears may heal on their own, while more significant tears or complications may require surgery according to medical sources
