My brother-in-law Asib who's 21 was diagnosed with a partial ACL tear in his right leg and advised surgery, but we want to double-check before going ahead. Can you recommend a good 3T or higher resolution MRI center in Chennai for a clearer diagnosis? Any other advice would be helpful too.

Just got my MRI results showing a partial thickness tear in the midsubstance of my ACL what are my best non-surgical options for recovery? Really worried about how this might affect my mobility long-term

For a partial ACL tear in the mid-substance, non-surgical treatment often involves physical therapy, activity modification, and potentially a brace. The goal is to strengthen the muscles around the knee and improve stability, potentially preventing long-term issues. While a partial tear can be managed non-surgically, it's crucial to understand that some individuals may still experience long-term issues like instability or other complications.
