this is a late 2013 macbook pro currently out of warranty and lately i dropped it on the floor where it hit the edge on one side and ever since i am getting this stuck green line in the same side of the screen.
would this line continue to grow?
is there any way to repair it? or changing the display is the only option?

It’s possible that when the computer fell, it partially unseated one or more of the display cables/antennas inside. You can try to reseat the display cables and see if that resolves the issue. If not, chances are yes, you’ll need a full display replacement.

By the way, just so you’re not wondering “Who the hell is this random ass dude telling me what to do?” I’m an ACMT/ACIT certified technician working for an Apple-Authorized service provider (AASP), and we’re actually held to higher standards than the Apple store, so I can confidently say I kinda know a little something. :D
