What is the treatment for a partial thickness tear of the acl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on Sxs: A partial thickness tear that is not causing knee instability can be managed without surgery or bracing typically. If a partial thickness ACL tear is causing symptomatic knee instability then usually the best treatment at your age would be an ACL reconstruction by one of several methods.
