Is the surgeon's MBBS diploma in orthopedics and DNB in orthopedic surgery enough for my ACL reconstruction surgery tomorrow? I'm a bit worried about their qualifications for this specific procedure

View allI have a partial to near complete ACL ligament tear according to my MRI report do I really need surgery or are there other treatment options that could work for me? I'm worried about recovery time and whether I can avoid going under the knife.
if the MRI report says that you have a complete tear of the ACL. ACL is one of the stabilizers of the knee. Without the ACL, the knee will become unstable and the other parts of the knee will undergo more pressure/wear and tear. So it is important to get a surgery... especially at your young age. Had you been above 45-50 years of age, surgery may not have been compulsory. But right now, it is very essential to get it done. If you still don't want surgery, you will need to follow a few precautions to ensure that the knee does not undergo more wear and tear. These are: *Avoid sitting/sleeping on the floor. *Avoid using stairs as much as possible. Use a lift whenever you can. *Avoid using an Indian Toilet. Use a Western style toilet or a foldable toilet chair

i've been thinking about height increase surgery but i'm not sure how it works or what the costs would be can you explain the procedures involved and how long the whole process takes including recovery time
Limb lengthening surgery, also known as height increase surgery, involves breaking bones and slowly lengthening them over time using a device that allows for controlled bone growth. This procedure is typically considered for individuals with bone growth abnormalities or shorter bones, but can also be considered for cosmetic purposes

My MRI report shows a complete tear in the middle part of the ACL and a full tear of the distal MCL. Is there any chance these injuries can heal on their own without needing surgery? I'm really worried about recovery options.
A full ACL tear typically requires surgery for a full recovery, especially if you are active or have high physical demands. While some individuals can manage with bracing and physical therapy, the ACL lacks a blood supply and heals poorly without surgery. MCL tears, on the other hand, often heal well with conservative treatment like bracing and physical therapy, even if they are full tears.
