How to know injury grade
I had ACL surgery and I got some solution that Instability even after surgery may be due to a injury to posterolateral corner (PLC injury) which occurs concurrently with ACL. I want to know that if I have a PLC injury ,how to know it is grade I,II or III? Does X-Ray help to find the grade level? If I have grade III level injury ,does it have a lot of pain? Also I have a hinged type brace, does it help to completely rehabilitate?

A PLC injury needs to be assessed clinically. We have to see for instability, also if you are having buckling and instability it's more likely to be grade 2 or 3. A untreated PLC corner may lead to failure of the ACL graft also. Again this is just one of the causes. A failed surgery or failure of the graft can also be responsible for the same. Examination will help to assess. MRI will be difficult to evaluate cause of implants.
