Question

I recently got an MRI for a knee injury from playing sports and it shows a partial ACL tear at the femoral attachment, along with some changes in the medial meniscus, bone contusion in the tibial condyle, and mild joint effusion. Will this heal on its own or do I need physiotherapy or even surgery? What's the best treatment plan for this kind of injury?

Partial ACL tears and meniscal changes often improve with physiotherapy—surgery only if instability or pain persists.
