Hi,
She requires arthroscopic ACL reconstruction, & it should be done as soon as possible since delaying it may start osteoartritic changes in the knee.
For further information you can contact me at drsssoni@gmail.com.

thanks for choosing health care magic.Yes surgery is required.This kind of injury if neglected can lead to problems in future and leads to restriction and pain in the joint.This are the supports of knee joint which helps in movement as well as stabilize the joint. You can take an 2nd opinion if you want.
