I have got my acl completely ruptured as per mri 10 weeks back. I sometime feel slight pain while standing. I have been advised to get it operated by ARTHROSCOPY while another doctor has advised me to avoid operation by leading a sedentary lifestyle. One thing, I haven't experienced any incident of unlocking of my knee during last 4 weeks albeit it feels to be still unstable. Please advise whether I should go for acl reconstruction surgery.
