How quick was you're surgery and how was the first couple days? I'm going in next week it's been 3 weeks since my rotational dislocation. My swelling is down but without crutches my leg dislocates over and over. Never had knee surgery 😊

Watching this really put my mind at ease about my LCL. I injured it falling on it in hockey and coming back too early and reinjuring it, gonna go with a brace/sleeve for the next few weeks in the gym and do the rehab exercises so I can get back to playing!

Hi Maryke.. thanks a lot for this content and your channel. I've been waiting for the LCL video and I'm glad and grateful you finally made it!. Had a snap sound while doing yoga a month ago, no inflammation nor a lot of pain, small discomfort continued till now and when saw the orthopedist and MRI, there's a partial tear. I didn't wear the brace as didn't really think was serious before the MRI 😢, hope still recovers well, I'm a long distance runner and I've been tormented with the idea of not being able to run anymore..

I'm 70 and suffered an LCL sprain last year. The previous week (I think), I had a sharp pain in the outer side of my hamstring while doing sled pulls. I may have been taking too long a step or moving too quickly. The pain passed quickly but the following week, the LCL suddenly went. My GP had just retired so I went to Urgent Care. The X-Ray result: "No fracture or dislocation is identified. Minimal degenerative changes of the medial compartment. No significant joint effusion. The soft tissue is unremarkable." The nurse even said I was unusually free of arthritis for a man my age. I was prescribed physical therapy and continue to do rehab exercises since being released. Mostly, I have full use but occasionally, the knee gets a bit of slop and there is a bit of pain. I reset the knee by sitting on my haunches with my hand inserted at the back of the knee (this was not prescribed, just something I picked up over the years). Anyway, I weightlift 3 times a week. Am I pushing my luck, especially with squats and deadlifts? I have an excellent trainer who watches me like a hawk.

I’ve had a right knee injury for over 5 years. It hasn’t bothered me much through the years. That’s why I didn’t do anything about it. But in the last 3 months it has been getting worse. There is a lot of inwards movement on my knee and the outside of my knee is very tender when I press on it. When I squat my knee usually pops out and goes back in when I stretch it out. I can’t sit down on the ground and cross my legs because my knee would pop out. I can run in a straight direction but find it impossible to change directions without my knee popping out. I’m quite sure my LCL is the problem here and possibly some other ligaments as well.

just injured my knee and i am trying to search for what i may have done to it and this is explaining all of my symptoms. hurts so bad if i turn to quickly/bend my leg outwards.

Brilliant overview . Does it take a few days to determine the extent of these injuries and what else is involved ?

heyy how did the surgery go?

hello. very nice and educated video. Thank you Doctor. I have been through very serious ACL knee injury on right knee and I have surgery on that and have been playing football for 2 years. And recently I have another injury on the left knee while playing football. While put the left feet on the ground, the other player push me from the inside to outside and I heard a small crack (not big as the crack I have at the ACL injury, and my knee rotated like my ) and I feel that crack is not the crack of ACL torn (Grade 3). After that my outside knee is swollen and hurt, the inside knee seems not very much. After 3 weeks I am now able to walk upstair but still a little uncomfort to walk downstair. I still feel the knee stable unlike the ACL injury I had before for the right knee so I think the ACL still there, maybe stretched but not completely torn. My question is : - Do I had an LCL tear or MCL tear or both if I only swelling much from outside of the knee? - Should I rest and return to sport longer than usual to help my knee perform better and my knee health overall for long time after?

Hi.. I have bowed legs and injured the outer part of my both knees during a hike about three weeks ago. It has healed tremendously and sometimes I walk without pain. However, I have noticed the pain still happens after driving or constant movement. Is it serious? Did my bowed legs contribute to the injury?

@SportsInjuryPhysio

2 ай бұрын

It doesn't sound serious - it sounds like it is healing really well and likely just need a few more weeks before it regains its full strength. I can't really comment on whether the shape of your legs had anything to do with it because I don't have enough information - there are many factors that can contribute to it e.g. choice of shoes, how fit you were etc.

I currently have in-between a grade 2/3 lcl tear. I'm using a brace for 6 weeks then getting it reevaluated for surgery. I've always been going to PT twice a week. I'm able to walk, pain level has dropped significantly and I'm starting to get near the 90 degrees bend mark. But the problem is sometimes my knee gives out. I have 2 weeks til I get reevaluated hopefully I don't need surgery, I have track field that starts in a few weeks. Do you think I'll be back by then?

@SportsInjuryPhysio

4 ай бұрын

It does not sound as if your knee is ready for running yet, let alone fast running, so I don't think track and field will be an option if it is only a few weeks away.

Yes - You're not meant to be resting for that period - you are meant to do rehab and strength training is part of that. Here's a video where I demo some exercises: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mpltvKlmZLjKZc4.html

I just got my Acl reconstruction + Lcl was tightened with a screw...The surgery was smooth, but coming back from the hospital, I hurted my newly repiared LCL at the fibula rejoin. The pain was really significant and even had rapid contractions or spasms for the first 2 days...The pain gradually decreased but the knee gets locked when I try to bend it more than 60°. It has been 20 days and It only pains in the fibula region where the LCL screw was placed. Is it a serious conern? I hope its not a grade 3. The doctor asked me to do my bending exercise even if it pains. What's your take?

Obviously I don't know your situation but what you are describing sounds more like a nerve injury - those symptoms are not typical of LCL sprains. LCL sprains also only happen when you have a really strong trauma e.g. someone runs into you or falls on you or you fall in a bad position etc.

If a patient has a cardiac stent (cannot get MRI scans) would ultrasound testing be sufficient to substitute?

@SportsInjuryPhysio

Yes, Ultrasound can diagnose LCL tears but it won't be able to show you anything inside the knee e.g. meniscus. I think a CT scan might be a safe alternative to and MRI scan.

It might be that you also injured something else e.g. bruised the bone which can cause pain to continue for much longer. An LCL should be healed by now, so it might be a good idea to get a second opinion to understand why your pain has not yet settled.

Hello! Sorry to ask this in the comments, I just wanted to see if I could get your opinion on something. So I was playing volleyball and landed a bit funny and felt my left knee twinge, and now on the outside of the knee, I feel unstable. No pain when walking, and I played volleyball after this injury, although my jumping ability was reduced and the feeling of instability was more noticeable and there was some pain. I have since taken a break from volleyball, and i don't have pain when I walk, but the feeling of instability is still present. This injury occurred in mid April, it is now early June so about 6-7 weeks. Do you think if I just continue to avoid playing volleyball for a bit and then work on strengthening my knee, the instability will go away? I'm scared to go to a doctor because I'm terrified of surgery and I really hope I don't need anything invasive done. I also don't think I'd be able to do a lengthy recovery period given my need to be on my feet for work, but I also don't want to give up the sport I love. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Basically what I found through trial and error is, if you have no ACL left or a dysfunctional ACL (because it is not fully healed), then you are at a higher risk of "just" injuring the LCL again and again and again.... 3 times so far for me, full-ish recovery is about 2-3 weeks after each "injury event". This is all after a full ACL tear 2 years ago (which i "rehabed" without surgery). I am in my 40s.

You need to get someone to check your movement when you use the weights to see if you are doing a funny move with your legs or not - if your leg is turning out etc. then you may want to see if you can control it better. Also you need to check if your heel raise is causing your leg to turn out too much.

Yesterday I had a very loud audible POP while at Jiu Jitsu early in the morning and I had some minor pain on the outside of the knee. I was able to go though the rest of the day without issue.
