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
