Knee injury

[Latrobe2000]

Hello,
I totally agree that this patient needs to go have arthroscopic surgery to acertain the extent of the meniscal/pcl injury/joint injury.. No amount of physio is going to affect the meniscus/pcl if they are torn/detached. And pain will limit the strengthening this person will be able to do with physio. Ive had bilateral menisectomys/knee surgery and am a physio so I know how frustrating it can be...both for therapist and patient.The surgeon needs to sort out the anatomical stuff first. Treat the cause and then rehab this persons knee.

Sana,
Have you sent this person off for surgery yet?? probly should have been done long before this. With an MRI report like you state, and minimal improvement over 9 months, he will likely need surgery.
