What are the nonsurgical treatments?

Nonsurgical treatments include bracing and physical therapy:

• Bracing: Putting a brace around your knee will keep it stable. You’ll have to use crutches so that you don’t put weight on that leg.
• Physical therapy: Exercises will help your knee function and strengthen the leg muscles around it, supporting it.

Keep in mind that if you choose not to have surgery, you’re at a higher risk of re-injuring your knee.
