The doctor mentioned the fracture is severe and needs surgery but I'm worried can it heal without surgery? The report says it's major but I'd like to understand if there are other options or if surgery is absolutely necessary
While surgery might be recommended for severe fractures, alternative treatments like casting or splinting can sometimes be used. The decision depends on the specific fracture, its location, and whether the bone fragments are significantly displaced. Surgery is often needed for complex fractures or when non-surgical methods are unlikely to result in proper alignment and healing

I had a scooter accident 15 days ago and the MRI shows a full ACL tear, but I can still do most daily activities with minimal pain. Do I really need surgery or can I manage without it?
While you might be able to manage with a full ACL tear without surgery, especially if you're not highly active, the decision depends on your individual lifestyle and goals. Surgery is often recommended for athletes or those who participate in activities that require pivoting or twisting movements. Conservative treatment with physical therapy and bracing is an option for those with less demanding activities
