The problem is that with an acl tear, you are able to walk in a straight line fairly easily; the anterior cruciate ligament is important in lateral, or side to side movement.
No, its considered an ACL tear.
What was the doctor's advice?
Yes
no acl surgery is only possible by therapy
yes you can!! you could be running and then suddenly decrease speed ( finishing a race) and ultimately tear your ACL. this hurts like hell and should not be done on purpose, i am tying this to you know after tearing my ACL by twisting slightly from getting up from a computer. next door is a doctor surgery and he had put me through to the hospital for a MRI and surgeon talks. No immense pain, i would describe it as moderate and i can walk ok so i am doing quite well. no matter what its surgery though coz i have other problems with my knees also. THIS IS A DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME (IN MY OPINION) but its what you think that counts!! :)
an ACL tear
If it is torn, it does not heal itself. You need surgery.
McL is far worse. If you listen to someone named Dominic telling you acl is worse then McL then your crazy
average settlement for slip and fall torn meniscus and acl with future surgery

This is a tear in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee. It is a significant ligament helping to connect the tibia bone in the lower leg to the femur in the thigh.
The average cost of an ACL surgery is around $2,000 with insurance. For the uninsured, it costs upwards of $35,000.
