Grade 3 MCL tear

Question

Grade 3 MCL tear

Asked for Male, 27 Years

Does grade 3 MCL tear require surgery? After MRI results came, it showed grade 3 MCL tear and high grade partial thickness tear of ACL. I wanted to know whether I must go for surgery with arthroscopy or can it heal on its own? If it can heal on its own then how much time would be required with proper physiotherapy and exercises?
