mri scan of mcl

Back at the beginning of december i injured my knee. I had been about to kneel down when my leg gave out and i landed on my knee with it bent in a very awkward way. I had swelling and great amounts of pain and dull ache and after seeing a doctor in A&E was booked for an mri scan and put into a lockable brace which i wore for around 6 weeks as he was sure i'd suffered mcl injury. The scan showed no cartilage damage and no real mcl damage which was suspected.

The medial side of my leg is brusiing and my physio said its my MCL but how can they know without an MRI. And trying to get one here is like my chances of winning the lotto. Very slim!!!!!!! I will try demand one but not likely they will listen! So if this is discovered a few weeks down the line, will it take long to recover???

Can you please explain what these results of a knee MRI mean? "...slight increased signal to the medial femoral condyle near the insertion of the medial collateral ligament..." Thank you!

degree) After MRI there is no sign of a medial meniscus tear. I am allergic to all NSAIDS and Morphine. My doctor thinks I am a good candidate for the platelet injection. Can you tell me about the possible effects following the injection? Increased soreness etc. Currently there is pain while walking and any flexon, extension too. I am an active and healthy person who loves to hunt and be in the outdoors.I am still lifting upper body weights and have discontinued all cardio.

In the beginning of august I had a bad fall. I was put in a knee splint. After an MRI it looks like I have a grade 3 MCL tear. Prior to that, I've had habitual dislocation of the patella. Today, the doctor said I might have never had a connected MCL since my knee would "travel" with every step (and I could walk and function completely normally, before the injury).

I posted a couple of weeks ago about a recent MCL injury. I got my MRI results back and it does show a grade II MCL injury without a complete tear. However, it also showed "significant early tricompartmenal degenerative changes, greatest in the patellofemerol compartment as well as areas of significant chondral thinning and irregularity". I knew I had this going on in the other knee and we always suspected it in this one, I guess we just confirmed OA is getting worse.

Hello and thanks for the reply I have had arthroscopic surgery and they have found that after a year and a half I still have grade 2 tears of my ACL, LCL and PCL but l have MCL in tact what would you suggest as a next course of action?

hi, had an mri and it showed i have a complete rupture af my acl and partial tear of my mcl. they said i need surgery and a brace, anyone no what will be done?

There is abnormal hyperintense signal within the posterior body and horn of the medial meniscus with appearance of associated meniscal body extrusion, thickened MCL as well as meniscocapsular injury both superiorly and inferiorly. Disrupted posterior capsule and appearance consistent with a tear within the anterior medial meniscal root. No high grade lateral meniscal tear identified with preserved articular cartilage. LCL intact as is popliteus.

When I tore my right MCL, I never got fluid in the knee and the level of pain is getting considerably worse on the new injury from my experience with the previous injury on my right knee. Would it help to have the fluid drained from my left knee to releive the pain? Also, what else could I have damaged that would be causing fluid on the knee? Any suggestions on how to function in the mean time would also be greatly appreciated, the pain is getting unbearable.

I appreciate your response and have heard it referred to as the "unhappy triad." However, my question focuses on the correct spelling of the technical term of "Odonna Hughes Triad." Is it Odonna or something else?

This has been going on sense Jan of this year. I've had one surgery to clean some of that stuff up. That was 3 months ago. It still hurts as bad as it did from day one.

Pellegrini-Stieda Syndrome, a condition of pain at the origin of the medial collateral ligament on the end of the thigh bone, usually occurs when there is pain over a calcium deposit seen in this area. It is best that you discus the results with your attending physician for proper evaluation. Additional diagnostic tests such as MRI may indeed help. Take care and do keep us posted.

Right knee X-Ray indicates some distortion on the medial side of femur bone where MCL attaches. However the radiologist did not mention anything, I feel stretch in muscles at this point that restricts my knee to bend further.

Sounds like either a mild sprain of the MCL (medial collateral ligament) or less likely, a tron medial meniscus. After an exam and Xrays your orthopedist may order an MRI to help make the correct diagnosis.

The ACL,PCL,MCL,LCL, and extensor mechanism are intact. There is mild intermediate intensity intrasubstance signal within the menisci but no discrete tear evident extending to an articular surface. The medial and lateral compartment hyaline cartilage appears preserved. With the knee in extension there is lateral patellar tilt with approximate 3mm lateral patellar subluxation. Probably mild fibrillation hyaline cartilage patellofemoral compartment predominantly lateral.

Four weeks later, after physiotherapy, no sleep and non-stop pain, the GP sends me off for another MRI. MRI Number 2 reports a Grade II tear of the MCL, a cyst in my bone and bruising at the top of my tibia. I am sent off to see my Sports Physician who advises that I do not have a torn MCL - it's just very inflamed; however, I do have a stress fracture of my tibia along the medial line (and a mild case of SONK).

ve been a member of this sight for a while and have received a good amount of insight into chances of contracting HIV through low risk activities (oral) and since i was ensured that my actions back in August of this month, do no equate to where i'm at health wise today. I've had 3 CBCs done over the past 3 weeks, all of which show that i have a low white blood cell count. WBC 3.21 x10(3)/mcL Lower Than Normal (4.8-10.8) RBC 5.48 x10(6)/mcL (4.3-5.9) Hemoglobin 16.

My son hurt his knee in football last Friday night. His MRI shows a MCL tear, partial ACL tear, and a LMT (meniscus tear - 3mm). He'll attend physical therapy in the next week or so. The doctor mentioned that it's not necessary to do surgery right away. Everyone that I talk to encourages me to have him do the surgery due to his age - (18 yrs old - 6'1" - 220 lbs). I want to do what's best for him. Should I get another opinion?

Right knee X-Ray indicates some distortion on the medial side of femur bone where MCL attaches. However the radiologist did not mention anything, I feel stretch in muscles at this point that restricts my knee to bend further. The doctor says that it is a non-concluding observation. Is it a distortion? If yes, what is it?

There was no pop or immediate/major swelling, but there was pain on the inside of the knee. I had a few episodes of the knee giving out and swelling eventually increased so 2 days after I went to an orthopedic doctor. He confirmed my suspicion that I had an MCL sprain, but said I may have also injured my ACL and meniscus.

He diagnosed an MCL injury and a need for MRI to see the extent. He assumed that an MCL reconstruction would be necessary. I asked what the conservative approach would be. He said that we could keep it immobile (braced) for 6 weeks to see if it would heal on its own. I kept my knee straight for 6 weeks, which is no small feat. Fast-forward 6 weeks, I went in for a follow-up and he moved the knee in two different directions, checked the mobility and ordered PT.
