My MRI shows bone marrow contusions in both femur and tibia condyles with moderate synovial effusion, a grade 2 ACL tear, horizontal tear in the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, and grade 1 MCL sprain. I've been doing quad and ROM exercises at home for almost 2 months do I really need surgery or can I keep managing this without going under the knife

View allI'm worried about my chondromalacia diagnosis from a few years ago. I sometimes didn't stick to the doctor's advice about not jumping, running, or folding my knees, and now Im experiencing knee pain whenever I put stress on them. I recently started karate classes that involve a lot of those activities. Is there anything youd recommend I do to manage the pain and keep my knees in good shape while still attending classes?
As advised by the physician , avoid running,exercises ,folding knees,jogging since you are prone to fractures .

Are biodegradable screws actually worth it for ACL surgery and how much do they cost per piece Is there a more affordable treatment option available
Biodegradable screws can be a good option for ACL surgery, but they are generally more expensive than metal screws and may have potential complications like screw breakage or tunnel widening. While metal screws can cause MRI distortion or complications in revision surgery, they are generally more affordable. Screwless fixation techniques are also available, which may offer a more cost-effective approach with faster recovery
