Hey guys,
I was playing a game on Sunday morning, and I tripped and fell hard on my left knee. It ended up swelling a lot with a lot of pain involved. I'm not able to weight bear.
The doctor said it looks like either a meniscal or ACL tear so he referred me for an MRI. The report says that I have a Grade I ACL tear and I have tears on both my medial and lateral retinaculum with patellar subluxation and joint effusion.
I know for Grade I ACL tears, the treatment is usually physio. But since I have to the other two tears, I'm not sure what will be required.
Will it be to do physiotherapy or will I have to go for surgery?
Thank you! =).
