These tests are not necessary for every patient; the appropriate investigation depends on the clinical examination.

Agar significant structural damage ho aur conservative treatment se adequate improvement na aaye, to surgical options bhi consider kiye ja sakte hain. English: Surgery is chosen based on the diagnosis and individual patient needs, not simply because knee pain is present.
