My knee is paining from 8 monthes .2 days before i got a appointment with a knee specialist doctor. He check x rays and said your ACL bone break completely and you have partial injury on menisucs. And after he said come after 2days when MRI report comes. I think my life will be ruined and basketball i can never play.
I don't want to treat by surgery.

Hello, ACL reconstruction surgery is the best option and the only one for a complete tear.Dont delay and go for surgey without thinking as it will help you a lot and wont spoil your life. After that go for physiotherapy for almost 3 months . It will provide you the right strength to walk , co-rdination and balance as you were having before the injury.

ACL and meniscus can be treated by minimal invasive method of arthroscopy and is a very successful surgery with advanced technology available nowadays. i see no reason why you should be afraid, though I understand it is entirely human nature to be skeptical. With a good ACL, one can resume sporting activities

Hello there,,,, what the doctor actually ment was that your ACL which is a ligament has torn and some injury to the meniscus....now both these things are responsible for stability of the knee....dont worry at all as these injuries after surgical repair and extensive physiotherapy can make you the same athlete which u were before....so dont get tensed about it....also the surgery would be an arthroscopic repair so it would give you minimum scars.
Next Steps
meet an orthopaedic surgeon with your MRI report who specialises in Arthroscopic repairs.
Health Tips
After the surgery you need to start ACL rehabilitation protocol from a trained and experienced Sports & musculoskeletal physio...to get back to your playing level.
regards & take care.

Hello well if the ACL tear is complete then there is no other way other than reconstruction surgery which can be done by arthroscopic method so you don't have to worry... secondly about the partial injury..Surgery is not required in a repair as of now and it can be used with the physiotherapy and other exercises...
