Partial tears are rare. In theory, they have some healing capacity, but personally, i doubt it. This does NOT mean (reconstructive) surgery is needed though. It also does NOT mean symptoms (such as pain, reduced mobility, swelling, instability...) won't get better. the tear measure 13 mm in the sagittal plane by 16 mm in the coronal plane
