Emphasized the role of experience in managing uncertain cases with limited evidence.
For Group A injuries, non-operative treatment reliably achieves good outcomes.
Group B injuries typically require surgical intervention for optimal recovery.
Group C injuries present challenges due to limited evidence, relying instead on clinical experience.
