Knee cap dislocation acl
I have dislocated my knee cap while dancing. This was before 4 months. The first two months I wore a knee immobilizer. The next two months I went through physiotherapy to regain my range of motion. I have shifted from wearing a knee immobilizer to ROM knee brace. I slowly progressed from 45° to 120°of bending my knee .I consulted a doctor and he claimed that i had an acl tear by analyzing the MRI scan. He told me to wear an Rom knee brace and walk with the help of a single cruch. It has been a month since then. I am not able to understand wether I need to undergo a surgery. My doctor even suggested me that, since my range of motion is 120° you may not need a surgery. What should I do now?. I really want to get back to sporting activity. How should I proceed.? Thanks for your answer!

Hi, Its great that your ROM is 120. You should visit physiotherapist for proper evaluation and sports specific training. Remember, if you dont get symptoms like, pain, instability of joint or discomfort no need to go for surgery. Surgery also depends on complete or partial tear of ACL. For heavy intense sport like Football, even partial tear has to undergo surgery, so ACL surgery depends on sport you play.
Next Steps
visit a good sports physiotherapist near you who can understand the sport you play.
