Hello,
After thorough assessment of the tissue damage via clinical examination in terms of range of motion and reflexes, sensations ; an MRI examination is must for the fine details. A minor degree of tissue insult can be repaired with conservative therapy as anti inflammatory medicines, physiotherapy ; but the major damage needs a reconstructive surgery to cure best way.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
