I have a partial ACL tear from running and playing football and cricket. My MRI shows a partial tear at the femoral attachment of the ACL, some changes in the medial meniscus, bone bruising in the tibial condyles, and mild joint swelling with a popliteus muscle injury. Can physiotherapy help heal this without surgery or is surgery my only option
Partial ACL tears with meniscus and muscle injury can often be managed with physiotherapy; surgery is reserved if instability or pain persists.

My brother has bone TB and has been on medication but has been bedridden for the past month. Some private doctors recommended surgery can he recover with just proper meds and a good diet or is surgery really necessary?
