Hello,

First should run MRI to determine the damages. Next, depending on your symptoms and orthopaedic specialist advice should determine if you need surgical repair.

If letting not treated adequately it will get worse and you'll finish non-moving your leg properly. Orthopedic the specialist will guide you further.
