I tore my mpfl so my knee is very unstable but is there another way to stabalize my knee without surgery?

See below: An orthopedic or sports medicine specialist should examine your knee to determine what options are available. Possible an orthotic knee brace might be sufficient, but i suspect surgery may ultimately be required.
