Ligament was fractured 5 years ago.
Hello, I'd met with an accident 5 years ago which injured my right knee ligament. My doctor told me that it was fracture of ligaments. I did complete rest and course at that time. And the knee went under no surgery.
Now current condition is that I've problem in cross leg sitting on floor, knee muscles gets entangled and takes long minutes to settle again in to normal which pains a lot, winter season affects this condition every year.
Now again today I went to doctor and had MRI, report is attached so my doctor advised me to go under knee surgery. Surgery of screws implantation.
I'm left with no clues what to do, kindly suggest me if it is possible to get it done WITHOUT SURGERY.
Thank you

Dear Garvita, if you have survived 5 years with a torn ACL and didn't have much problems. Then chances are your knee is compensating enough for it to be functional.
If your problems are not instability in the knee then the pain and stiffness could also be due to vitamin d and b12 deficiencies.
Get checked for vitamin and take injectable supplements and you might notice a difference.
Next Steps

ACL grade 3 tears can not heal by itself. It should have been reconstructed 5 years back only.
You also have lateral meniscus tear which either requires menisectomy or repair that depends on type of tear not mentioned on report.
