I had an accident yesterday where my knee gave out while walking. The hospital did an MRI and the report shows a near full thickness tear in my anterior cruciate ligament. Should I consider surgery or can physiotherapy help heal it? I've attached the MRI report for reference.

View allWhat are the different ways to do ACL reconstruction surgery in India and does this surgery also fix meniscus issues Which method works better for recovery Will I be able to get back to my usual physical activities like before after the surgery Also what's the average cost for this surgery in India
ACL reconstruction surgery in India typically uses minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques, with various graft options like autografts (using your own tissue, often from the patellar tendon or hamstrings), allografts (donor tissue), or rarely, synthetic grafts. The surgery can be combined with meniscus repair or removal if needed. Recovery time is generally 6-12 months, and with proper rehabilitation, you can often return to your previous physical activities. The average cost can vary depending on the hospital, surgeon, and specific procedure, but it's generally in the range of ‚Çπ1,50,000 to ‚Çπ3,00,000.

I'm dealing with a complete ACL tear according to my MRI. I'm really hoping to explore alternatives to surgery. Is there anything else out there that can help fix my ligaments? My MRI report is included.
Non-surgical options for ACL tears include physical therapy to strengthen the surrounding muscles and improve stability, as well as the use of a knee brace for support. However, it is important to note that these methods may not fully restore the stability of the knee like surgery would. Additionally, certain medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can help manage pain and inflammation associated with the injury.
