Need surgery for knee ligament injury?
Recently had a slip while playing badminton 5 weeks back. Did MRI today 10th Feb. Do I need surgery or can do with strengthening excercises? ACL/PCL/MCL and LCL are normal as per the report.
1. Near complete tear in the proximal fibres of Anterior Cruciate ligament near femoral attachment site showing intrasubstance hyperintensity.
2. Patellar Chondromalacia.
3. Minimal marrow edema in the posterolateral aspect of proximal tibial plateau.
4. Oblique tear in the posterior horn of lateral meniscus extending to both
superior and inferior articular surface.
5. Horizontal tear in the posterior horn of medial meniscus.
6. Mild joint effusion.
Thanks..
Wear a knee brace. Keep knee protected for 4 weeks.
Do knee quadriceps exercises .
Apply.ice packs.
Next Steps
After 4 weeks, remove brace, if you have instability I.e. ACL issues or Locking,pain I.e. meniscal issues then they will be addressed specifically with arthroscopy.
