Complete ACL tears usually require surgery for active individuals—please upload MRI for a better assessment.

Question

I've been dealing with a femur fracture from two months ago and had ORIF surgery. After about six weeks, I began walking with the help of a stick, and recently, around 23 days ago, I started walking without any support as my orthopedic consultant advised. The thing is, I'm still limping and there's an imbalance with my affected leg. How can I recover from this and get back to walking normally without a limp?

Question

I have a grade 1 ACL tear and it hurts when I walk sometimes the pain is really bad but other times it's not there at all. Do I need surgery for this or can it heal on its own?

Question

My MRI report shows an ACL tear and meniscus injury in my knee. The orthopedic doctor recommended arthroscopic surgery, saying it's necessary. Is surgery really the only option or are there other treatments I can try first? I'm worried about recovery time and risks
