Which is better for treatment a surgeon or a homeopathic doctor? Can medicines alone fix health issues without needing surgery? I'm worried about going under the knife and want to explore other options first.

Partial tears may heal with rest and physio; surgery is needed if instability or chronic pain persists.

How can I tell if my right knee ACL injury needs surgery and how do I figure out how severe the injury is
To determine if your ACL injury requires surgery, and its severity, a doctor will typically use a combination of your symptoms, physical examination, and imaging tests like X-rays or MRI. A complete tear or severe instability usually indicates a need for surgery, while minor tears may be managed with physical therapy.

can ACL injuries heal with just exercises or is surgery always necessary what should I do if I have an ACL injury to recover properly
While some mild ACL tears might heal with bracing and rehabilitation, complete ACL tears typically require surgical reconstruction for optimal recovery, especially if you are an athlete or want to return to a high level of physical activity. A torn ACL does not heal on its own, and delaying surgery can lead to further knee damage.
