Question

My MRI report shows an ACL tear and meniscus injury in my knee. The orthopedic doctor recommended arthroscopic surgery, saying it's necessary. Is surgery really the only option or are there other treatments I can try first? I'm worried about recovery time and risks

While arthroscopic surgery is often recommended for combined ACL and meniscus injuries, it's not always the only treatment option. Conservative treatment, including physical therapy and bracing, might be suitable for some individuals, particularly those with less active lifestyles or partial tears. A thorough discussion with your doctor about your specific situation, activity level, and goals is crucial to determine the best approach
