I have a partial ACL tear and I'm not sure if I need surgery or just physiotherapy. Can you help me understand what's best based on my MRI report? I'm really worried about making the right choice for recovery.

For partial ACL tears, physiotherapy might suffice unless the ligament is severely torn or if you have knee instability. Discuss your MRI findings with your orthopedic surgeon to determine whether surgery or conservative treatment is best.

i've been thinking about height increase surgery but i'm not sure how it works or what the costs would be can you explain the procedures involved and how long the whole process takes including recovery time
Limb lengthening surgery, also known as height increase surgery, involves breaking bones and slowly lengthening them over time using a device that allows for controlled bone growth. This procedure is typically considered for individuals with bone growth abnormalities or shorter bones, but can also be considered for cosmetic purposes
