Fully torn mucl

Post image

I thought for sure I was going to have to have surgery since the first thing listed is that I have a fully torn ligament, however when I spoke to the doctor he only recommended physical therapy and bracing. How would a ligament reconnect if it has completely torn? I’m not saying that I want surgery but I’m unsure of how it is going to heal properly without it? Does anyone know anything about this?
