Hello,
You have to go for an MRI scan first to look for any possible tendon or ligament injury. If tendon or ligaments are injured, surgical correction might be required. You can opt for arthroscopic repair as it has got best results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing all the best. Thanks.
