Unfortunately body can’t repair this ligament of its own but all patients do not require surgery.
Plan of management depends on the symptoms, clinical examination of knee instability, profession and expectations of patient.
We start by Physio to strengthen your muscles and I need to examine your knee before deciding what kind of management protocol we should follow
