My MRI report says there are PDFS hyperintense signals in the lower half of my ACL with a possible mild partial tear of fibers does this mean I'll need surgery or are there other options to consider first?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A hyperintense signal on an MRI, particularly a PDFS sequence, and a possible mild partial tear of the ACL fibers in the lower half of the ligament, might indicate a Grade 2 injury, which typically suggests a stretching and partial tear. While surgery isn't always the first line of treatment for a partial ACL tear, it's crucial to consult with an orthopedic surgeon or doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation

View allMy MRI shows a complete ACL tear with some tibial translation, plus meniscus tears in both medial and lateral parts, along with cartilage issues and joint effusion. Is surgery the only option for this or are there other ways to manage it? I'm worried about recovery time and whether PT could help instead
Non-surgical management may work if you have low activity demands. But with instability and multiple injuries, ACL reconstruction is usually recommended for long-term joint health and mobility.
