Hello,
The fracture is clearly visible in xray. It is not completely displaced .,this is the reason ur getting two different opinions.
In my opinion though the displacement is not too much but it is displaced , so it's better to go with surgery.It will give u better and early results.Knee joint is very important structure bearing complete weight of body,it has to b perfect.
You are also talking about " two ligaments fracture "..what do u want to say.Actually Bones get fractured . Ligaments are not fractured they r torn..and if ur really talking about ligaments then v need mri for its proper advice.
