Hello,


A ligament tear in the right leg that occurred two years ago may still require treatment, especially if you have ongoing pain, swelling, instability, difficulty walking, or difficulty bending the leg.

You should consult an orthopaedic doctor, preferably a specialist in knee or ligament injuries. The doctor recommend an examination and imaging such as an MRI to assess the current condition.

Treatment depends on the type and severity of the tear and may include physiotherapy, medicines, supportive braces, or ligament reconstruction surgery in selected cases.

If you share your city and state, We can guide you about suitable orthopaedic doctors or hospitals for evaluation.


Wishing you and your family good health always.
Warm regards,
Team HexaHealth
