ACL surgery?: Depends on your situation. Most young, athletic, and otherwise healthy patients can benefit from acl reconstruction. If you are a high level or elite athlete, you may certainly benefit from acl repair. However, if you are in poor health and not physically active, surgery may not be the best option. Consulting with a qualified and experienced orthopedic surgeon should be your 1st step.

Hi Doctor. My MRI states that 'subacute pivot shift injury with oesteochondral injury to the lateral femoral condyle and likely full -thickness rupture of the proximal ACL'. Does this Mean I have torn my acl? Shouldnt the MRI states a full tear instead?
