If pain develops suddenly and is severe, such as from an injury ( fall) and if pain and symptoms (eg, weakness) progressively worsen you should seek medical attention.

MRI scan shows a high-grade partial ACL tear in my left knee and some meniscus issues. The doctor is recommending arthroscopic surgery but I'm not sure if it's necessary. There's also a mild strain in the PCL and tears in the lateral meniscus. The medial meniscus looks thinned out too. Do I really need the operation or are there other options?

ortho review is advised.

I had an accident 4 days ago and my MRI shows a PCL avulsion fracture at the back of the tibial spine with about 5mm elevation from the bone. My doctor said surgery isn't needed but I'm worried should I get a second opinion or is it okay to manage without surgery?

repair and reconstructive sx is advised.
