A member asked:
Does partial tear of acl require surgery for long term relief?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on: degree of tear, degree of your impairment from the injury, your level of activity, propensity for re-injury, your occupation, etc. If you currently have swelling and are unable to bear weight, it sounds like a serious injury.
