Brief Answer:
Can heal with proper rest to the knee.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The MRI scan report suggests that you have a partial tear of the ACL. There is tear of posterior horn of medial meniscus also. Rest all are inflammatory changes due to the injury.
This injury can heal with rest using knee brace. In case the injury is more than 2 months old then healing with rest is less likely and a surgical repair may be needed. You need to get this evaluated by your orthopedician and plan accordingly. Repeated injuries are difficult to heal.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
