Hi Dear Sakshi , Injury to knee can cause injury to ligaments ,muscles and bones One among them is Anterior cruciate ligament and menisci Based on the level of tear gradings are there and management differs Kindly visit an Orthopedician for the same to plan for further management but getting it repaired with keyhole (Arthroscopic surgery) will be a better option take care
With ACL tear + meniscus tear + loose body and symptoms of instability, arthroscopic ACL reconstruction + meniscus management + loose body removal by a sports injury orthopedic surgeon is the best treatment. Conservative treatment will not stop your knee from “giving way” and may worsen damage Thank you.

Aapke MRI report me ACL tear, meniscus tear, aur loose body ka mention hai, jo walking ke dauran instability aur “chut jana” ka reason ban raha hai. Definitive treatment usually depends on severity: ACL tear often requires arthroscopic reconstruction, meniscus tear may need repair or partial removal, and loose body is generally removed arthroscopically. Please consult an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine or knee surgeries for a detailed evaluation, discussion of surgery options, and a rehabilitation plan.
For an ACL and meniscus tear along with a loose body in your knee, given the ongoing symptoms and potential instability, surgical intervention might be a consideration to address the root cause of these issues effectively. typically, arthroscopic surgery is an option to repair or reconstruct the ACL and treat the meniscus tear, if necessary. The loose body may also be removed during this procedure. However, the need for surgery depends on the severity of the symptoms, your activity level, and personal goals. Non-surgical options, like physical therapy, focus on strengthening the surrounding muscles to stabilize your knee, but these might be more appropriate if symptoms are mild or if surgery is not preferred. To find the right doctor, you should look for an orthopedic surgeon, particularly one with a specialization in sports medicine or knee injuries. Consulting with a specialist who understands your lifestyle and the demands you place on your body can help devise the most suitable treatment plan. Meanwhile, maintain a healthy weight to reduce stress on the knee and try to avoid activities that exacerbate your discomfort. It’s crucial to avoid delaying care, as unresolved ACL or meniscus issues can increase the risk of further knee damage or early-onset arthritis over time. Seek a consultation with a specialist soon to discuss the most appropriate steps based on the specifics of your case.
