ACL tear with washer tear
I am having too much pain in my leg that is associated with the knee. I had and MRI done which indicates that i have mild partial ACL tear with synovial fluid effusion. Medial meniscus torn with fluid near the posterior horn. The doctors in my locality are saying that i need a surgery for this if the pain doesn't subside. Can it be cured by putting on a cast for some days.
