Hi All,

This is my first post, I am a non-medical person and a noob in medical terminologies ,so please have patience with me.
In brief my friend(gal) met an accident (her bike fell on her left leg) on 2-sept-2008 unfortunately giving her left knee injury.

2-sept-2008::X-RAY report left knee joint AP/Lateral
1.Knee joint shows normal alignment.
2.Small intraarticular bony fragments are seen adjacent to tibial spine.
3.Rest of the visualised femur,tibia & fibula appear normal.
4.Patelofemoral joint space is normal.
5.No obvious lytic/sclerotic lesion is seen in visualised bones.
6.Soft tissues appear normal.
IMPRESSION:Small intraarticular bony fragments adjacent to tibial spine.Bony avulsion of ACL.

2-sept-2008::MRI of left knee

1.Depressed fracture of lateral tibial condyle.Marrow edema involving the lateral femoral condyle and lateral tibial condyle.

2.Bony avulsion of anterior cruciate logament with intra substance tear of ACL.

3.Full thickness tear of tibial attachment of medial collateral ligament.

4.Separation of capsular attachment of lateral Wikipedia reference-linkmeniscus.

5.Extensive soft tissue edema and small intra articular effusion.

After this she had a surgery.
then she had an X-ray which says....

06-Sept-2008:X-Ray
1.Post operative film.ACL repair done.

2.Knee joint shows normal alignment.

3.Rest of the visualised femur,tibia & fibula appear normal.

4.Patelofemoral joint space is normal.

5.No obvious lytic/sclerotic lesion is seen in visualised bones.

6.Few air locules in soft tissues.

7.Damage tube in situ.

After 2 months of bed rest she started doing normal work.Again after 3 moths of surgery she underwent physiotherapy for 6 months.
After physiotherapy she didn't feel any significant improvement.She is able to do normal work,like daily work,walk,all normal position movements .But not rigorous or awkward movements,running,dance etc.

Is it curable ?
Would be really appreciated if somebody guides me step by step,coz i am not sure even what to ask, All I want to restart everything once gain,whatever it takes I just want her to regain everything back like a normal person ,99% if not 100.

Please I will provide all the detail you want,any concern or any question if I am missing anything.
Looking positive.
Thanks for your time in advance.


Cheers!!
