ACL tear , partialPCL tear

2018-01-19 12:50:46
Hi doctor I have a partial PCL tear (intrasubstance) and a completely torn ACL according to the MRI report and pcl buckling is intact. it's been 24 days and I limp while walking with a crepe bandage. Is a surgery needed for me( my knee doesn't give away while I walk). How long more does it take to heal. Any other suggestions would be of a great help. Thanks in advance

Try doing quadriceps exercises for 2-3 more weeks. Do not walk on injured leg before 6 weeks. After 6 weeks if you have instability and strength problems then go for the reconstruction. Otherwise , you can manage with physiotherapy .
Health Tips
ideally the ACL heals in 4-6 weeks.
