I just found out I have a grade 2 ligament tear in my right knee can this heal on its own with rest and rehab or will I need ACL surgery to fix it properly
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A grade 2 ligament tear in your knee, specifically the ACL, can often heal with conservative treatment like rest, ice, and physical therapy, but surgery may be needed in some cases. The decision to operate depends on factors like the ligament involved, your activity level, and your overall health.

View allI've been diagnosed with grade 4 chondromalacia and a partial ACL tear can this be fully fixed with surgery or will physiotherapy be enough to recover properly
With both Grade 4 chondromalacia and a partial ACL tear, a combination of physiotherapy and potentially surgery may be needed for optimal recovery, depending on the severity of your symptoms and activity level. While physiotherapy can be effective for both conditions, surgery may be required for a full recovery, particularly if you have a high-demand lifestyle or experience significant instability

I've had ACL and meniscus surgery back in August, and then in December, I slipped and fell. My knee's not swollen, but it bent all the way back, which hurt for a couple of days. It's been a few weeks now, and I'm back at the gym. I'm pretty sure it's not my ACL, but I'm worried about the meniscus. There are minor pains, nothing too severe, but I don't have health insurance. I can jog and jump, but there's something a bit off in my knee. How can I tell if I might have torn my meniscus?

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.
