I have a ligament injury in my right knee and got an MRI done is it possible to recover without surgery or would I need to go that route

Small ligament injuries can heal with bracing and rehab; surgery if instability or tear is complete.

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I've been dealing with stiffness and pain in my left knee, and every time I move it, there's a clicking sound along with pain. The MRI shows a partial ACL tear, but some orthos say it's not torn while others insist on surgery or PRP treatment. I'm confused because two different MRI reports say the same thing why the conflicting opinions? If the ACL is just displaced, would PRP actually help? And why am I still having so much pain if some doctors say the ACL isn't torn? My back and neck hurt too, and I'm not sure what to do next.
