I tore a ligament in my knee four months ago but didn't rest and kept running 7km daily now it's getting worse. Is there any way to fix this without surgery?

I've been diagnosed with a partial tear in my medial patellofemoral ligament will this heal with just rest or would I need surgery? I'm a bit worried about recovery and what to expect.

For a partial tear non surgical treatment is the first line tt is advised.Physical therapy,nsaids,pain and inflammation.and weight loss management is advised to the patient.Surgery is advised for complete tears.

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

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.

ACL repair and reconstruction .ortho opinion is advised.
