Need for surgery usually depends upon few factors like:
1. If the pain is not reducing even after 4-6 weeks of conservative treatment
2.If you are a sportsperson and laxity in the joint hampers your performance
3. If laxity in the joint is hampering your daily activities
Next Steps
You should consult a sports specialist for better management
