I'm curious about how long it usually takes to have a plaster removed from a small bone like the metatarsal or the little toe. Is there a typical timeframe for healing in these cases? Just trying to understand what to expect.

My dad has a full ACL tear but just needs to walk normally without heavy activity is surgery the only option or are there other ways to manage it

While surgery is often recommended for full ACL tears, especially for those with high activity levels, nonsurgical management may be an option for individuals who primarily need to walk normally without engaging in strenuous activities. The decision to proceed with surgery or nonsurgical management depends on various factors, including activity level, age, overall health, and the presence of other knee injuries.
