Hi, some injuries like ACL tear can wait and see physio works. If it is partial tear of ligaments we can treat it with out surgery. Some of the ligaments full tear we can treat with out surgery like ankle ligaments. If ACL tear is associated with other injuries better to treat it with surgery sooner than later.
