Thanks Ralph! More to come

this is exactly the knee buckling I get (buckling forward). Not only that though, when I lift up my trail leg in my walking gait, there is some knee discomfort (same buckling knee).

I didn't know what is Giving Out until I saw that Video! Thnank you :))

Thanks for watching!

It's a great video. I've a couple of questions. Can PCL buckling heal its own? Or can PRP fix this? And please make a video on Buckling vs Tear Ligaments. Much appreciated. Thanks

Both my knees have completely failed twice, buckling forward and dropping me on them with no pain, one time while working in a -40 cold storage (I was sweating and had warm clothing on) and once while hiking with shorts on at higher altitude. There was no warning and I had to have help walking afterwards to a location where I could sit until they started working again. Now they’re getting really sensitive to weather changes and ache when it does.

This sounds exactly what I've got. It's like when I turn my left foot as far to the left and then rotate my leg in that direction (to rotate left) my left knee buckles on the inside (Right side of left knee) as if it's about to pop out of the joint. And immediately after that happens, I can sometimes walk on it normally, as if nothing has happened but my leg becomes extremely weak, as if it had no strength to hold me up anymore. Now that I'm older (been dealing with this for like 10 years now)... my leg sometimes feels like it wants to bend in the opposite direction of where it's supposed to bend when standing up straight. Can sometimes walk normally without pain or instability if I get into a good stride, but starting and stopping can feel very dangerous. Been using an ace bandage to get around at work, but I've lived the last 10+ years with the fear that I might one day break my knee/leg because of this issue. It's caused me to fall down stairs, or even miss a curb and fall into the street (when it feels like it's going to pop out of place), just to name a few times. Hoping someday to visit a doctor to solve the issue. But I guess my question is; what exactly based on the above could be the issue? I know there is some inflammation, and no physical (bone) damage to the leg as I went to the hospital at least once where they did an X-Ray after a particular bad incident and found no damage to the knee in the X-Rays. They gave me a long-leg brace, and after 2-3 weeks I was able to barely walk again (As after that incident I couldn't even put weight at all on that leg, as if it were broken/sprained). Or rather, what else can I do to strengthen the knee or better stabilize it? I've broken my ankle before, and physical therapy helped with that. But not sure what physical therapy I could do for a knee?

Thank you doctor I was in pt today (post acl surgery) doing some stretches and my knee gave out. It didn’t hurt but it was a very uncomfortable feeling. I’m worried I hurt my new acl or meniscus.

1. wow this video is fresh(new) thank you so much !! just subscribed 2. my left knee (surgical) buckles inward but there is no pain what's so ever. it has never happen when I walk though. only when i lay down i extend my leg and from my knee and below it lightly shifts to the left.

Thanks for subscribing Alex! You could have some slight ligamentous laxity, which allows it to shift a little bit

@orthoevalpal Thank you for this video. There are sooo many videos out there for knee pain, but they don’t address the buckling Mine buckles inward/outward with excruciating pain, so much that I can’t walk on it for 3 to 4 days. It’s becoming more frequent now occurring once a week or so just walking. What is my next step to address how to fix it?

That happened to me some years back

thanks for this video. my knee has been doing this thing for a while and i didn’t know how to describe it? i came here to see if “buckling” is the word for my knee and it looks like i am having this issue, now i saw your physical example of what “buckling” means.

Glad it was helpful!

I have same buckle knee injury , it's really painful

I have no pain, nothing but a couple months back I injured myself training, and it came from my ankle where a tendon jerks

Im going through your videos hoping I find something that can help lead me in the right direction. I’m 29 and already have tons of muscle, nerve and pain issues. I’ve been absolutely miserable for the past year especially. My knees buckle often, what I call “bambi legs”. If I don’t stand a certain way my knees will do multiple little buckles while I’m standing still. Parts of my legs feel numbish, my fingers and toes will feel numbish like when you’re outside in the cold for too long. Shooting, stabbing, tingling, trickling sensations from my head to my toes. EXTREME headaches and pressure that last 2 weeks are longer with no relief from OTC meds 😣

Have you tried getting an MRI? You have many symptoms that sound like multiple sclerosis

I experience this… both legs but have never had an injury. Is that normal ??

My knee buckles straight but there is no pain, it's mostly after if I run or do kicking exercise and also it doesn't happen often but rarely

On the sides

Thanks for you video 🌸 i have a question the second type that you said the knee go into extension and then flexion , does that kind of buckling happen in acl injury ?

@OrthoEvalPal

Yes it can. The ACL helps to prevent hyper extension.

Years ago my wife had an injury to her right knee from dancing! It went forward and she heard a loud crack which was even louder than the music back in 2002! Today she looked at her knee and part of the top part has collapsed! Half of the top but is missing whereas it used to have two large holes! Any idea?🤔

I've never had a knew injury. It just decides to give out for no rhyme or reason.

Hi Urvi, I think I mentioned that it is a loss of control between the hamstrings and the quads. Usually because of swelling or pain. It can also happen with ACL tears.

​@@OrthoEvalPal could it be ACL tear? My knee buckles mostly in the forward way, it seems to give out, but in a forward direction. And when it comes back, it wobbles just a little bit, right before it goes into hyperextension. Basically I have to focus and bring it back by tightening my muscles, otherwise it feels loose, weak and buckles forward. I had a partial ACL tear a long time ago that never really seems to get better despite all the PT I have done. A month ago, the doctor asked if I had any buckling, I replied with no, and was prescribed gym exercises like leg extension, leg press etc. As my leg muscle strength was weak. Now despite doing some work in the gym, my knee seems to keep getting weak, maybe due to swelling, and now even buckling is there.

My knee definitely buckles forward then whips back kinda going down stairs and on occasion on flat surfaces and this is with a dislocated knee injury back in December 2023 from overused knee extensions going up and down stairs wells all day as a delivery driver where I wasn't physically fit to do it.

I play basketball and my left knee buckles inward and rotates outward when I am jumping to shoot, my right knee on the other hand is perfectly fine and seems to even be stronger and more stable than my left, In certain movement my left leg is a lot less stable than my right. I think that the stability issues might go away as I strengthen my knees, I am still going through early puberty and I am assuming that will go away in the future as my leg gets stronger. When I jump normally both legs are perfectly fine but when I'm gathering more power to shoot the basketball it seems like my left leg buckles inward. I don't think that it it due to injury as well, and i dont feel like it hurts either

Same thing happened with me When i was blocking the opponents layup And landed in a awkward flexed knee position Resulting my knee to buckle inward and a bit pain in lateral corner of the knee But after a week that little bit a pain was also gone Now the left knee is unstable and need some stability How your left knee doing??

I was riding my bike and the chain popped and the knee hit the bolt of the bike handle bar so hard I flew off the bike and my knee cap was bleeding

Hello Paul I injured myself playing soccer as I was falling down I landed wrong. However there was no pop sound and after wards swelling and my knee started to buckle. Thru therapy and KZread my range of motion is almost back I wanna say 70% and my strength has increased andwalking is going along good. But my knee is still constantly swollen and gets stiff even with RICE. Is my problem bad enough to go to the doctor ? The injury was 3 weeks ago

Hi Jonathan, absolutely. Mild swelling can cause stiffness and swelling inside the joint could be an indicator of anything from an ACL tear to a meniscus tear to damage of the cartilage lining the bone.

@@OrthoEvalPal thanks for replying doctor my swelling has gone down almost half of what it was when I sent u this. Should I still go get it checked? Sorry I’m kinda in a financial bind that’s why I want to know for sure .

I tore my ACL and sprained my MCL 7 months ago. Non-operative management so far, but it still feels a little unstable. Meniscus and cartilage are fine. Can buckling cause additional injury? It hasn't done this yet, but the potential is there I think. I'm athletic, but at age 60 I'm disinclined to have a reconstruction.

It can but the key is to keep the surrounding knee and hip muscles strong and improve balance as much as possible.

I had a torn acl and had a repair. Directly after the sports accident my "only" issue was subluxation/inward buckling with every step of normal walking. Due to this instability I did not walk at all for the 3 weeks waiting for the OP and just started full weightbearing 2 month after OP again (= in total almost 3 month not fully weightbearing). I never had this subluxation/inward buckling anymore, knee feels stable in general, just sometimes it buckles backwards/forwards, which I did not have at all right after the acl tear, where all my muscles were still strong. This is why I attribute this to muscle weakness and/or slight swelling related. Do you see this backwards/forwards buckling in post OP knee patients with weak muscles and it resolves after they build up their normal muscle strength? Or is it very strange and uncommon to have after a knee surgery?

@@raghavsharma9838 Hi I am happy to report any uncontrollable backwards buckling of the knee was completely related to post OP muscle weakness in my case and completely disappeared now 1 year post OP. The first 3 month I prioritized getting back full ROM symetrical to the other side. starting at 3 months post OP I focused strength training, but really slowly (leg press started with 15 kg haha, now one year post OP I am able to do 140kg again). I had a checkup at my surgeon at 4 month validating the acl is fully stable. I think the key is to get back full extension first, then build your muscle slowly back to normal. It is normal this takes 9-12 month. My PT saw semi professional footballers who rushed the training and now struggle with chronic problems. be aware for flexion it is normal to take a bit longer to fully come back, sitting on my feet with fully bent legs took 10 months to feel comfortable again, but I worked on this until it was possible again :) Also trust your feelings- in the beginning the knee might swell after too much strength training. Give it a rest of 1-2 days and go slower . Then I am sure you also will be able to combat the post OP backward buckling if it is also muscle weakness related Wish you all the best 👍😊

Is it normal for my knee to still buckle after mcl surgery, did I accidentally somehow re tear it or maybe they did the surgery wrong

@OrthoEvalPal

Жыл бұрын

Swelling and general weakness alone can cause it to buckle. The orthopedic surgeon will probably test the stability if you are still seeing him/her.

Does this have some kind of underlying condition? I dislocated my right knee around 3 years back and had surgery on it to fix some problems. Then a little over a year after that it happened to my OTHER knee, except I didn’t dislocate it, it just gave out after buckling like that. Now I have issues with my left knee buckling inwards and it makes it super difficult because I’m involved in theater which requires a lot of dance, and I can’t run either or my knees will buckle. It doesn’t necessarily hurt, but it’s super uncomfortable and if it DOES give out it feels incredibly weak to walk on for a little while afterwards.

There can be several reasons why you have this. Have you seen an orthopedic surgeon for this?

Pain but no swelling. Knee buckled 2x in the same day. History of injury and Bone Spur in the knee.

OK, that's interesting.... but what do I do about a buckling knee? Sit on the couch and watch TV, or is it okay to exercise (like rowing or cycling) that moves the knee, but no pressure on the knee? How to treat a buckling knee? (I had a TPF fracture 3 years ago, three surgeries, it is what it is now)....

Biking and rowing are both excellent exercises. Anything that increases your quadricep and hamstring strength will be extremely helpful.

Omfg yes my knees buckle and give out left and right

You did not address buckling that goes backward then forward.
