What the visit is like
You are examined on the day, told honestly whether it needs surgery, and given a rehabilitation plan with milestones. If an operation is not needed, nobody is pushed toward one.
Questions about this treatment
Do all ligament tears need surgery?
No. Many heal and stabilise with a properly graded rehabilitation programme. Surgery is for people whose joint remains unstable or who need to return to a sport that demands it. That difference is explained for your case specifically.
When can I return to my sport?
On milestones, not on calendar weeks. Strength, movement, control and confidence are each tested before you go back. Returning early is how a repair is undone.
Should I rest or keep moving?
Early, gentle movement usually helps; loading through sharp pain usually does not. You will be told which movements are safe and which to avoid, in writing.
