My MRI shows a complete ACL tear and mild joint effusion but the doctor with 25 years of experience says there's no ACL injury just mild cartilage damage and the MRI doesn't match his clinical findings He suggested physiotherapy and a knee brace for 6 months with possible surgery only if needed Should I trust this diagnosis or get a second opinion

It's understandable to feel concerned when your MRI contradicts your doctor's assessment. While your doctor's experience is valuable, a second opinion is advisable to ensure a comprehensive understanding of your knee injury.
