Question

I just got my MRI report and it shows a high grade partial thickness tear in my ACL with some retraction and a small bony avulsion near the tibial eminence. There's also mention of a chip fracture in the posterior tibial plateau with bone marrow edema. Can this heal on its own or will I need surgery? I'm really worried about the extent of the damage and what it means for recovery

Question

I had a partial ACL tear 10 months ago and one doctor said I might need surgery but another suggested physiotherapy exercises could help it recover in about 2 years. Is it really possible for the ACL to heal completely with just physio or should I consider surgery? I'm worried about making the right choice for long-term recovery.

Question

I've been dealing with severe pain for the past 30 days and visited both a general physician and an orthopedic specialist. They prescribed antacids, painkillers, and suggested using a splint, but I haven't seen any improvement. Is surgery the best option to relieve this pain or should I wait longer?
