MRI shows interstitial injury in my ACL but the ligament is still intact, plus a grade 2 signal in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus and mild joint effusion. I don't have knee pain, just a little discomfort behind the knee. Do I need surgery or can physiotherapy help with this?

View allI hurt myself about three months ago, and my recent MRI shows I've got a grade 3 meniscal tear. I'm really concerned about whether or not this can heal without surgery. If I stick to proper physical therapy and medication, is there a chance it might recover on its own? I'm looking for some guidance here.
A grade 3 meniscal tear typically requires surgical intervention, but with proper physical therapy and medication, some patients may experience symptom relief and functional improvement without surgery; however, the tear itself may not fully heal on its own, and surgery, such as meniscectomy or meniscal repair, may still be necessary to prevent further damage, alleviate pain, and restore knee function; consult an orthopedic specialist to discuss the best course of treatment for your specific condition.

I'm 21 and have bow legs with a 4-inch gap between my knees. There's no pain when I walk and my walking seems normal. Are there any non-surgical ways to fix or improve this condition?
Bow legs is a structural problem that affects the shape of the bone and must be addressed fundamentally. Surgical correction is the only way to permanently straighten bow legs. The surgery needed depends on the age of the patient and on the severity of the bowing.
