What is the prodecure for tore acl& pcl tendons?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For the ACL : Reconstruction is the gold standard, typically done with a graft tendon harvested from your own patella or hamstring. For the the PCL tendon surgery is not usually done if it is torn by itself, but if it is torn along with an acl tear it is often reconstructed in the same setting with a hamstring tendon or even a cadaver allograft.

Regarding my knee injury. After observing the MRI scan, doctors said my ACL has partially Torn, PCL completely torn and meniscus injured. So does it required surgery or can heal by time. I don't want to go for a surgery, is that possible?
