I've been having looseness and instability in my knee with some pressure, and when I stand on one leg and bend the other knee, I hear a mild obstructive sound. My MRI showed subtle signal changes in the ACL and a bit of fluid in the patellofemoral joint space. Can this be fully treated with physio, or would arthroscopic surgery work better? What's the most effective solution for this?

View allhow risky is ulnar nerve transposition surgery and what kind of complications can happen after it also when can i start working out again after the procedure
Ulnar nerve transposition surgery, while generally safe, carries some risks including infection, nerve damage, and persistent symptoms. Complications like nerve injury, failure to decompress the nerve completely, infection, and thrombophlebitis are possible. Return to working out depends on the individual and the type of exercise, but generally, light activities can be resumed around 8 weeks, with a full return to unrestricted activity taking up to 24 weeks

I had a knee injury 4 weeks ago and now it's really stiff I can only bend it to about 80 degrees. My doctor says I need at least 100 degrees of flexion before surgery, but my ligament tear is making movement tough. I'm doing daily physio is it really necessary to get that much bend before they can operate? Just worried if pushing too hard could cause more harm.
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
