Having a complete ACL tear and not undergoing surgery is like trying to avoid an inevitable situation. Any arthroscopy surgeon is only afraid of one thing that's probably most difficult to treat- a cartilage injury.
ACL deficiency leads to instability which you might feel like there is a fear of twisting while you jog, run, try changing directions while walking or jumping from a step. It is quite simple. Once your dynamics of knee change and it becomes unstable, you cartilage damage increases every time it comes out. Strengthening exercises might ward off time but may give you deleterious results.
Please consult your arthroscopic surgeon.
Health Tips
Its a scar less surgery with minimal operative time. Please plan surgery before cartilage damage sets in.
