ACL tear & Maniscus bucket handle tear
Hello
I had a left knee twist post my bike skid fall. My MRI statement says below observations. I have attached a snippet of report. I also had a history of tibial upper condyle fracture which was corrected with screw implants in 2014. Is surgery only option to corrent ligament tear or are there other treatments I can go through. How severe is this and reovery period.
Menisci-Large bucket handle tear is noted in lateral meniscus with its torn fragment involving posterior body and horn seen lying adjacent to anterior horn suggesting flipped meniscus. Intrinsic T2 hyperintense signal is noted in posterior horn of medial meniscus suggesting meniscal degeneration. Rest of the medial and lateral menisci reveal normal morphology, position, size and signal intensity.
Cruciate ligaments- Complete tear of anterior cruciate ligament is noted from its femoral attachment. The posterior cruciate ligament appears normal in morphology and signal. The menisco-femoral ligaments are normal.
