ACL and Meniscus tear
Hello Doctors,
Been consulting few doctors for the recent ACL tear and Horizontal meniscus tear, do we have any other way of healing apart from surgery. For reconstruction of ACL and meniscus repair.. damage is not that great extent.. they are mild . I am able to walk.. but little difficulty in climbing stairs.
Can you please let me know what are the ways of treatment I can explore. Please help.
Regards
