Knee Swollen On Getting Hurt, No Fracture Found In X-ray. MRI Showed Acl Tear. Alternative For Surgery?
May 2013 i fell down from my two wheeler and got hurt in my right knee. no any external wound but swollen immediately and could not make a move. nearby casuality doctor suggested to take x ray and no any fracture was found and he told to continue my work. but i was having pain and in the forthcoming days i met many orthopedic surgeons, nobody doubted for acl tear. finally i on my own interest took mri and it resulted with 1. complete acl tear 2.medial meniscus posterior horn outer 3rd flap tear 3.lateral meniscus posterior horn intra meniscal grade1 degeneration signal 4.medial tibial condyle posterior margin bone marrow edema. what is the solution?i don't want to go for surgery. is there any alternate for sugery?i m eagerly waiting for ur valuable opinions.

Hi and welcome to HCM
For compete ACL tear, ACL reconstruction is done through arthroscope. In my opinion go for surgery because delay may lead to arthritic changes in joint. If you do not want surgery, go for physiotherapy exercises
Hope this will helps you. Take care.
