Dear Sir,
Thank you for reverting back.
I have gone through the prescription but I dont think he has mentioned regarding surgery in that but somewhere I couldnt get the handwriting .
Anyways he must be talking regarding the ligament tear and I agree with him that you can get the surgery done . Because if not repaired it may progress further , it will be a very small surgery and since microscopically done healing is very good. You can go ahead with it , there is no alternative method for repair of tear.
