How to proceed with torn ACL and horn.
I suffered an injury while training about an year and a half ago and I recently got an MRI done which shows partially torn ACL and grade 1 tear of horn of medical meniscus.
Do I need a surgery? I am really nervous and scared. I'll be going to my doctor in a day or two and just wanted to know what's the take of the experts here.

For partial tear we have to see clinically for laxity of knee. If the knee is fairly lax, then go ahead with surgery. Or you can go for physiotherapy.
