Ligament tear
As per the MRI reports I have a near complete tear in ACL and grade 3 tear in medial meniscus. My injury is a year old now. Ive never sensed buckling or locking of knees. Cannot bend my knee fully ( i.e ankle touching glutes ) and a slight instability. I have got mixed opinions from various orthopaedic surgeons. ( 21 years old )
Please help

You should go for ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair or meniscectomy as you are young.

meniscus definitely should be addressed. ACL reconstruction should be undertaken if symptoms present
