Tibial spine fracture
Hi, I injured my knee 3 weeks ago in a bike accident. X-ray indicated a tibial spine fracture in which acl displaced by 3mm approx. My knee has been immobilised with a brace since then. Currently i am able to walk but not freely. It hurts going up/down stairs. Also i can't straighten my knee fully. How much time will it take to heal. Do i need surgery? Please advise. Thanks in advance.
