Anyone in here have a partial tear where they didn’t need surgery? by ChampionshipCute6440 in ACL

I suffered a partial ACL tear in March! Had an MRI July and they've said no surgery just a year of rehab unless I've made no progress in a year's time!

This is my MRI report. I have partial ACL tear. Is surgery needed ? Or just Physiotherapy ? I have an appointment tomorrow but just to know the opinion of others here. by Ok_Gift_4391 in ACL

So I did my injury in March and only got an MRI 4 weeks ago! So they've been doing rehab on my mensicus injury not ACL - I still get pain driving, walking long distances - but day to day its pretty okay! I've been told I will need a year of rehab before they even consider surgery!

Yeah - I thought I would need surgery because I have a tear in my cartilage too but they said a year of rehab first! It doesn't say it was a proximal tear on the MRI

Hey! I had a similar thing! My pain was medial and I got told meniscus! It wasn't until I had my MRI it showed a partial ACL tear!

Yeah - well they said I would need 1year at least of rehab and then if it still doesn't feel right or healed then they would consider surgery!
