ACL Injury
On 17th this month, i met with a minor bike accident. Since there was a lot of pain and swelling so consult with a nearby ortho surgeon , and later i have undergone an MRI scan in which its been mentioned "Features suggestive of high grade tear involving proximal 1/3rd of ACL" & "Features suggestive of grade 2 tear of MCL".(Please refer attachement for whole report). Does it mean that only surgery is the only way to continue for normal behavior or does physiotherapy also can help ?
PS : I don't play any sport nowadays just i workout daily and sometime running/Cycling/Mountaineering

After ACL injury, regardless of whether surgery will take place or not you should focus on regaining range of movement, strength, proprioception and stability.You will have to follow your orthopedician advice. Surgery may not be mandatory but a physical examination will reveal if it's unavoidable. However you can begin Knee exercises . Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Ankle PF DF, Glute.etc. You can m eet a Physio for demonstration. But before you start any exercise I assume you would have taken ortho opinion.
