Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns
I am sorry to hear that you tore ligaments in your knee. These ligaments help stabilize a knee. There is no surgical correction as surgery may make things worse. The best treatment is physical therapy. By increasing muscle strength you help tighten the ligaments and reduce risk of pain and further injury.
I would also recommend NSAIDs or ibuprofen for pain and swelling
In summary
1. partial torn knee ligaments
2. Treat with physical therapy
3. NSAIDs for pain control
4. No surgery
