Hello
Thanks for writing to us.
Partial tear of the ACL and medial meniscus is not a very serious injury needing immediate surgery. Such partial tears usually heal by conservative treatment in 3-4 weeks.
Avoid weight bearing and bending of the knee. Give complete rest to the knee joint. Use a knee brace.
You can take pain killers for pain and antibiotics to avoid infection after consulting with your orthopaedician.
Please do not hurry for the surgery. Such partial tears do heal on their own by giving adequate rest.
I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful. Waiting for your further follow up queries if any.
Regards.
