Hi,

Patellofemoral partial tear ligaments have been treated in a conservative manner until recently, that publications have leaned towards surgical treatment for better outcomes. Surgery is not a must, but if you're willing to look for a more definitive solution, then you must discuss it with your orthopedic surgeon.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Gonzalo Escobar, Orthopedic Surgeon
