I fell during a cricket match and had internal bleeding, got an MRI that shows a near complete tear in my anterior cruciate ligament. It's been about a month and a half at home, and I still can't bend my knee fully only partially. What's the success rate for treatment, and how much would surgery cost?

For a near-complete ACL tear, surgical reconstruction is generally recommended for individuals who are active and want to return to sports. The success rate for ACL reconstruction is high, with studies reporting a 80-90% success rate. The cost of ACL surgery in India can range from ‚Çπ80,000 to ‚Çπ2,50,000, depending on factors like the type of reconstruction, graft used, and the hospital.
