I've got my scan report showing a ligament tear - do I really need surgery for this? Since I'm covered under New India Assurance Medi Assist, can you suggest the best doctor in Chennai who specializes in ligament tear surgeries with quick recovery times? I'm really worried about the healing process and want to make sure I get the right treatment

View allI have a high grade partial ACL tear with grade 2 signal intensity in the posterior horn of my medial meniscus and a grade 2 LCL sprain. I'm unsure if I need surgery my main goal is to walk normally, cycle, and run without restrictions. I don't want to feel limited, but I'll do surgery if it's absolutely necessary. Can you help me understand if surgery is the only way to get back to normal?
It's understandable to want to know if surgery is the only path to your desired recovery goals. For a high-grade partial ACL tear, a grade 2 medial meniscus tear, and a grade 2 LCL sprain, surgery is not always necessary for full recovery and returning to activities like walking, cycling, and running, according to HSS. However, your specific situation and individual factors will determine the best course of action
