Dear Doctors, I am currently residing in Canada. My MRI results indicate a high-grade partial tear, which is likely functionally equivalent to a full-thickness ACL tear. However, my orthopedic examination, including the Lachman and anterior drawer tests, returned negative results. While I can walk, I do so with a pronounced limp. I am unable to fully squat and experience moderate difficulty with stairs. Currently, I am undergoing physiotherapy and using a brace for support. Given my symptoms and current treatment, do I still require ACL reconstruction, or is it possible to continue with non-surgical rehabilitation? How can we determine the best approach for my situation? I am asking here because my next follow-up appointment is scheduled for nearly six weeks from now, which is an extremely long wait. Thank you.
