I've heard that a ligament tear in the knee often causes inflammation, but is that always the case? Also, is surgery the only way to fix it, or are there other options? On average, how long does it take to heal without surgery?

My MRI report says there are PDFS hyperintense signals in the lower half of my ACL with a possible mild partial tear of fibers does this mean I'll need surgery or are there other options to consider first?
A hyperintense signal on an MRI, particularly a PDFS sequence, and a possible mild partial tear of the ACL fibers in the lower half of the ligament, might indicate a Grade 2 injury, which typically suggests a stretching and partial tear. While surgery isn't always the first line of treatment for a partial ACL tear, it's crucial to consult with an orthopedic surgeon or doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation

My 12-year-old got a fracture in their right arm between the shoulder and elbow after a minor push during play. The X-ray showed a balloon-shaped cyst measuring 6.3x2.5x2.6 cm, and the bone isn't even visible in that area the bone wall looks really thin. The orthopedist put on a shoulder immobilizer for six weeks but didn't suggest any specific treatment or meds for the cyst. The MRI says it's a unicameral aneurysmal bone cyst. Is this cyst curable? Would they need surgery or can it be treated with medication?
In a fresh case, the fractured cyst needs surgery for bony union and treatment of cyst. First stabilisation with TENS or k-wires. Then curettage, and/or grafting if required. Now after 6weeks, if the bone has healed then there is no need for surgery. Next Steps share x-rays if you can. Health Tips Prevent trauma on pathological side as the cyst light fracture again.
