What is the treatment for torn knee ligaments?
9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends: Part of that depends on which ligaments were torn, and if it is a full or partial tear, how active you are and what age...You definitely need an orthopedic evaluation to determine that. Surgery or rehabilitation will depend on the physical findings also.

Many options: Depending on the severity of the injury options include: bracing, casting, physical therapy, and surgical repair.
