I've had a fully torn ACL and grade 3 meniscus tear since May 6th. My orthopedic doctor recommended surgery but I've been trying physiotherapy instead - my leg has improved but still feels weak. Is surgery the only option at this point or could continued physio help me recover fully?

Severe ACL and meniscus tears often need surgery for full recovery. Physiotherapy may improve strength but rarely restores full stability.

My doctor recommended surgery and putting plates for my injury but I'm wondering if it can heal with just a plaster instead. Is surgery really necessary or are there other options? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife

Whether your injury can heal with just a plaster or requires surgery and plates depends on the severity, location, and type of fracture. Surgery may be necessary for certain fractures, but not all fractures require surgery. Plaster casts can be effective for some fractures, but others may require more invasive treatments like surgery and plates.
