Sir could ACL Tear possible without any accident and injury ? I am feeling pain in my right knee from last 3 months, specially will climbing the stairs Please guide

Got my MRI results back yesterday from a work injury. Complete ACL rupture and partial tear of the lateral meniscus. I’m eager to get back to work and wondering if a professional like yourself has ever heard of someone, with this injury and subsequent reconstruction, walking within a few weeks and returning to work/sport in 4-6 months? Thank you for your time and passion in what you do.

How's it now bro?

I remember when I had a nasty bike crash. Tore most of my meniscus (surgeon said it was hanging in by a thread) and tore straight through my ACL. Pain wasn’t that bad to me and after getting an x ray at the hospital they said I was fine. (I didn’t know I hurt anything at the time) I couldn’t bear weight on my affected leg for a whole week without it completely buckling. After I was able to walk again I went about my life for 6 months before going to a physio because I found I still couldn’t run without my leg buckling. Physio did a single test on my knee joint and got one of his colleagues to come in and get a second opinion and told me I needed to get surgery. Physio said it’s the worst knee he’s seen for a person my age. Got surgery later that month and had to be on crutches for a month and a half and wasn’t allowed to run for another 6 months. Recovery sucked more than the injury itself

Well… You probably made it much worse by continuing to go without any Orthopedic opinion for half a year with a buckling knee. An x-ray can only show bones, so they would’ve had no clue past your personal account if anything was wrong with any of your tissue or ligaments.

I tore my acl when I was 11 during a basketball tournament. I couldn’t walk after it happened and my dad had to carry me out of the gym and to the car. I remember later that night while I was in the hotel room, one of my coaches who is a doctor did these same tests to me. When he did the thing where he bent it to the side it was excruciating. He said that he couldn’t tell if my acl was torn because i wasn’t letting him do it properly cuz of the pain. My coaches and my dad didn’t really believe that anything was wrong with me and wanted me to keep playing for the next two games. I refused to play, and eventually my dad took me to the hospital

Hello Sir I met with an accident 1.5 yr back ACL torn to third grade and grade 2 signal tear of lateral meniscus but then Covid scenario happened so surgery got delayed. So i started exercising at home and now i can walk completely but not run, jump or do normal activities which needs pressure on the knee. I know a surgery is required but i got a fear about this. I got few questions Can the condition like pre injury the normal one be achieved after the surgery? Can it be as normal as it was? Are there any chances of breaking ACL again? How much time does it takes to heal completely and go back to the normal condition? And can the bio degradable screws be used? So that there's no need of having another Operation to remove those screws. Kindly answer these. That would be a great help.

Why scarce tissue grow around ACL after surgery?

Hi Paul, I have been having knee problems for quite a while. The thing is I don’t remember a specific time it started. The pain comes and goes and it has been getting worse. The pain is on the back of my leg. No significant swelling, but it is extremely painful to pull my heel in. There is no pain on extension, only when bending my leg/knee towards my body. So much so I have to use my arm to pull my knee in to bend it. Have you ever come across something like this? Hoping for an answer, thanks in advance!

Is there any way that a torn acl can be mistaken for tendinitis?

You should do an MRI so that you know what injury you have

So I endured a terrible knee injury about 2 years ago, where I couldn't walk, my knee was unstable, and when I hurt it I felt a pop and I had significant swelling. I couldn't fully flex my knee for about a week and I never went to the doctor for it. So since then I've been walking it off, but recently I felt a bone something under my knee move and lock and O popped it back and know my knee hurts really bad. So I don't know if it's too late to get it checked out or not.

Nervously waiting for my results. My knee did not bend to the left or right. It bend toward my body.

Could a blow straight to the knee cause damage to the ligaments? I fell off a horse straight down onto my left knee. They did x-ray and showed no fractures but referred me onto an orthopaedic surgeon. They did the tests and referred me on for an mri. Could that fall cause bad damage to my knee?

Hi.. I injured my left knee a month back.. MCL and ACL both were injured (partial tear).. After a week doctor recommended me to go for MRI again So this came. Intrasubstance hyperintensity within ACL s/o partial intrasubstance tear. Trabecular fractures and marrow edema seen involving lateral femoral condyle. Mild joint effusion with particular soft tissue oedema. My doctor said it will be ok with rest with 21 days and adviced for a exercise.. But it's been a month.. It's not paining but slight swelling is there and I am not able to completely straighten my left leg due to swelling.. As if that swelling locks the leg from straightening it.. And if try to straight it completely it pains and feels like something will break... 25% I am not able to straighten .

Its been an exact year since i heard the snap. Took pain killers for 3 days, kept my knee on icepacks for 3 days. Started walking on the 4 th day. Swelling gone completely on the 8th day. Started exercises in the second week. Started brisk walking in 1 month and 12 days ( with support offcourse) . I can jog now. It wasn't a complete acl tear , but a " near complete ACL tear" . Had PRP therapy every 2 months since injury ( had no time to get the operation, opted for this method). Had to give up Football (soccer). Now i have the time for the surgery , scheduled in a month. I have been pain free but knee was unstable for sure for all this time. My advice : Sooner or later YOU HAVE TO GET IT OPERATED . IT WILL LEAD TO MANY OTHER CARTILAGE PROBLEMS ONCE YOU ARE CROSSING YOUR 40s. The best thing about ACL tear is you can delay the surgery and select a good time frame. Age: 26. Total or complete recovery time 2 years. Jogging with pace : 8-9months.

Hello Paul, yesterday i was playing soccer at a park. I was running diagonally and jumped when I landed I heard my left knee pop and I think it buckled inward. There was instant pain, I could still bend it fine though and iced it as soon as I heard the pop. Now 1 day later, I can walk and there is now slight swelling. I can put my whole body weight on it without any pain, but there is pain as soon as i bend it side to side like shown in the video. But if i walk straight perfectly I can walk fine, as soon as a bit of rotation movement is added I feel pain. Should i wait a couple of days and see if the pain reduces and just let it heal or get it checked with a professional? I have torn my meniscus and completed surgery on my other knee which was a different experience. Much more painful and I couldn't bend it at all the following days after that, so it seems this recent knee injury isn't as bad but just want to make sure.

Anyway, go to the doctor and have your knee MRI and get it fixed as soon as possible.. don’t ignore it, it will worsen by time.

You should not have been walking on it if it’s giving out, at that point you could’ve caused bone bruising, or further tears in the meniscus, mcl, or pcl. At the very least you should get a stability brace, and only do light activity on it for a couple of weeks. Take this time to reduce swelling and inflammation by icing, light stretching and 600mg of ibuprofen three times daily. Surgery is also beneficial for long term use, as a fully torn ACL will never heal, therefore making it impossible for you to ever safely do those pivoting, twisting, or extending movements ever again.

Hello Paul, I think i have the same issue. While was playing soccer, my knee got twisted( my body turned but knee /legs didn't) i felt a jerk. It was painful at first, then I was able to walk with no problem( I had difficulty in running though). Then after 2-3 hours, the knee started swelling. I couldn't bend the knee for the next 2 days. I had fluid in my knee too. Finally, I went to Doctor and had an MRI. The doctor said knee contusion. He gave some medicine and asked me to take rest for 1 month. This was in March.

@@arunsomarajan171 hi. I'm not really yet okay. Because of my slow progress im rehab. I got surgery.

I injured my knee- wondering if losing weight will help reduce risk in future. I’m male, 5’10” weight 180lbs which isn’t too overweight, but if I get down to say 160, that is 20 lbs less weight. Would that reduce pressure on knees and therefor reduce risk of injury?

6 months post ACL surgery but I have a feeling of my body shifting to the side when walking.... to explain better, the surgery was on my left knee and I feel like my whole body shifts to the left especially when walking slowly.... l can currently hop on one leg with no problem... what could be the possible cause please

Hi Joseph,So hard to say without doing a full physical exam.

Can you walk if you have a ACL tear or a Meniscus tear. I believe that’s what it is called?

Thanks Andrew, I've been nursing what I hope is a slight tear too for the last six weeks with icing and brace.

It’s been 5 days since I twisted my knee, I felt a twitch when it happend, i have had no pain since 5 days ago and am not taking painkillers, is this a good sign?...I’ve been able to walk on it without pain ever since it happend (in a brace for the first 3 days) initially I could not straighten it but I am gradually regaining my full range of motion and currently waiting on an MRI, I have looked up some rehab exercises which I have been doing, is it a good idea to continue with these or wait till after the MRI?

If you are not having a locking of the knee and no pain then I would work on gentle quad exercises. Don't push too hard till you get the MRI

Hi Showkat, Not necessarily. Many people live a happy life with a partial tear and sometimes complete tear. There are many factors why you would have this fixed. See an orthopedic surgeon and they will help you with that.

Try to see a physical therapist or athletic trainer, who could test the integrity of the ligaments around your knee and ankle first

Did she end up having to have surgery? Looks like same exact symptoms as I’m having from a trampoline accident. I don’t have insurance unfortunately 😭

Yes she did, with a very good outcome.

Have you ever seen a negative on this test or similar ones and the MRI came back showing an ACL tear? How accurate is this test? I’m in the middle of an insurance wanting PT done before the MRI and my doctors keep saying they are worried about my MCL, ACL, and meniscus. My physical therapists did a similar test today and said he isn’t concerned about my ACL. I don’t know who to believe/listen to. Thank you for any insight.

Hi Mitchell, Oh yes. The accuracy comes with experience doing the test. The more you do, the better you get. I have seem many people who were told they were fine and I check them to find an obvious tear. Does it give out when you walk? Is your knee bent when you walk? Most people have PT even if they have all the above torn. Common to do rehab. Good luck. Let me know who was correct.

@mitchelldierks7797

Ortho EVAL Pal With Paul Marquis Yes it gives out when I walk. Yes my knee is bent when I walk. When I stand straight and relax my knee, it will either shoot forward or shoot backwards. Also if I plant my foot and twist very lightly inwardly with no weight, it gives out much easier than the other leg. I will keep you in touch! My PT is scheduled for 3/4 weeks. So hopefully mid October I know more.

Just watching those emotions make me cringe. I am in excruciating pain and I’m dreading an exam.

I walked on my torn ACL for a month because we thought it was just a sprain. Then we went to the doctor when it wouldn't stop giving out.

Hi Paul a couple of days ago I jumped while playing basketball and my knee went inwards and I felt my left side of my knee come all the way to the right and then go right back to the left I immediately collapsed.. at first I thought I dislocated my knee until I looked at it and it was still in place. It is swollen and I wasn’t able to put any pressure on it until day 3. Does a acl tear feel like a dislocation? Or do you think it is something else
