ACL Injury β€” frequently asked questions

Does every torn ACL need surgery?

οΌ‹

No β€” lower-demand patients with stable knees can do well with rehab alone. Athletes and people with instability or meniscus damage usually benefit from reconstruction. An MRI review plus written sports-medicine opinion (from $400) sorts out which path fits your knee and your goals.
