I twisted my right knee playing football 2 months ago and the MRI shows a partial tear in the ACL ligament with some hyperintensity noted in the PDFs. Do I need surgery for this or can it heal on its own with rest and rehab? What would you suggest for recovery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a partial ACL tear, especially after 2 months, the decision of whether to pursue surgery or conservative treatment depends on the severity of the tear, your activity level, and your individual goals. While partial tears can be treated without surgery, especially for less active individuals, the long-term outcome for those returning to unrestricted activity is variable, potentially leading to some instability

I've been dealing with this really annoying pain in my tailbone for the last three months. It hurts whenever I sit down, but it's weird because if I press on the spot, there's no pain. I've tried using ointments like Volini, but they haven't done much. The intensity seems to change every day. What could be going on?
Daflon (Diosmin) is a flavonoid used to treat varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and other vascular disorders. The recommended dosage may vary depending on the specific condition, severity, and individual patient needs. According to the manufacturer's guidelines and medical literature, the typical recommended dosage for Daflon in the treatment of varicose veins is: - 500 mg twice daily (BID) or - 1000 mg once daily (OD) Both dosing regimens have been shown to be effective in improving symptoms and reducing inflammation in patients with varicose veins.

I'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
