Question

I have a partial ACL tear and I'm not sure if I need surgery or just physiotherapy. Can you help me understand what's best based on my MRI report? I'm really worried about making the right choice for recovery.

For partial ACL tears, physiotherapy might suffice unless the ligament is severely torn or if you have knee instability. Discuss your MRI findings with your orthopedic surgeon to determine whether surgery or conservative treatment is best.
