Is sugery needed for my injury to my partial tear to acl mcl
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be: The prognosis for a partially torn acl is often favorable, with the recovery and rehabilitation period usually at least three months. However, some patients with partial acl tears may still have instability symptoms. Close clinical follow-up and a complete course of physical therapy helps identify those patients with unstable knees due to partial acl tears.
