Complete ACL Tear
Hi, I have compelet ACL tear on my left knee while playing football, it has happened two years ago, but I never went for a regular treatment, rather I have taken first aid treatment, like keeping ice and few days of rest, then slowly walking, Now I feel its not fixing and am slipping often. Now do I need to go for a immediate surgery or exercise.?

You might have developed some degenerative changes, so go for MRI first and then ACL RECONSTRUCTION

Go for surgery, it's been 2 years already.
Do not play with your inured knee,before it plays with you .
Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction will give you a stable and confident knee.
