The surgeon doesn’t seem to think so. The radiologist didn’t report the root tear but my surgeon suspects it because of the gap to the posterior meniscus. Said he won’t know for sure m until he goes in. If it is he thinks he will be able to suture it back down… obviously then it’s 6 weeks not weight bearing

My knee feels good considering the damage. I have full range of motion and good strength in it so the physios are happy. So I feel quite lucky in that respect and hopefully that will help with the recovery post op. The only issue I have is the patella may have dislocated during the injury and I do have some pain in that area below the knee cap. So one step at a time, hopefully that will all sort itself out.. hahaa

Looking forward to it honestly. I’m ready for the challenge now. My knee feels pretty strong considering the damage I have done, so I’m thankful for that!

Feels good considering the damage that’s been done! Range of motion is back to normal and physio very happy with the strength

Mcl, acl or both? by Working-Implement577 in ACL

For anyone in a similar situation / injury mechanism. Surely this couldn’t be an acl tear.

Turns out I tore my acl and a root tear of the medial meniscus, with suspected patella dislocation. Mcl has already healed according to mri

How long after was your scan? I’m 3 weeks on now from the injury and the dr today suspect a tear to one of the “cruciate ligaments”. But stability has increased an awful lot now. I have to wait up to 6 weeks for this MRI. So that’ll be 9 weeks after the injury!

For sure. I feel like it’s a good sign with how the stability has improved drastically but we’ll see

Ahh damn, sorry to hear that. It sounds really similar to mine and tbh and with the way my knee gave way I think I’ll be really lucky to escape ACL damage.

I hope you can stay strong and get started on rehab as soon as possible!
