Common Questions and Answers about Mri scan knee torn acl

I would suggest that you get a x-ray and MRI of the knee joint to confirm the ACL tear. I think there is a tear of the graft. Also with ACL tear surgeries it is common to have knee arthritis, so work up in this direction is also important in your case.
After ACL reconstruction surgery rehabilitation is the most important part of treatment. Swimming and cycling are excellent methods of strengthening the muscles around the knee.
If it is successful then ok otherwise it is certain that ACL or Meniscus or both are teared (as per MRI scan) which will be treated with arthroscopy.
My queries-
1) Can above injury is cured with the help of medicines and exercise.
2) Is arthroscopy is the only solution for meniscus and ACL tear.
3) How safe is hroscopy and what information we should know to make sure that we are going right way.
Essentially, you have two injuries to your knee. The first is a torn medial meniscus, or a torn cartilage. The rest is a description of the shape of the tear. A bucket handle flops back and forth inside the knee, like the handle on a bucket, and can cause pain, locking, and swelling. This treated arthroscopically and will require either repair or removal of the damaged piece of meniscus.
The second injury is a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament, (ACL).
I have just had an Arthroscopy after an MRI scan showed a problem with my meliscus. However after the op i was told that my meliscus was fine and that the main part of my upper anterior is very loose and not having any significant function. Should this have shown up on my MRI ? Also what is the best action to take so i am able to play football and snowboard again? Would building up the muscle around my knee be sufficiant?
So i use 1 crutch to support me. Is there any possibility that i had torn my ACL? Is it normal that the knee is still swelling? i had a very sharp pain on the medial side of the knee while trying to bend it and it feels very thight. Im quite frustrated because it heals very slowly.i'll be having a big exam in 1 month time and im really worry about it.
Hey girl! I'm sorry you had this injury! I am a recent graduate with a bachelor's in athletic training so I see ACL and MCL tears all the time. If your MCL is torn it will heal on its own unlike the ACL which needs surgical intervention. The only way to truly tell if an ACL is torn is by MRI and I'm not sure if a surgeon would go in without seeing any pictures at all. Plus if a MRI is gonna kill you financially, surgery will be bad too!!
I went to see my family physician and he said it felt like the meniscus was torn, so he wanted me to get an MRI. When the MRI report came back it said there was fluid build-up in the acl compartment and the acl might be torn. I went to see and Orthopedic doctor and he said that he didn't see anything wrong with the MRI and when he did the clinical test he said there was a little play but he didn't really see anything wrong. He also did an x-ray which was negative.
Well, you've landed on the multiple sclerosis board, but having recently dislocated my knee, I've also had a knee mri and a visit with an orthopedic surgeon and physiotherapists. I would think this is a relatively normal knee (depending on your age). I imagine they were evaluating you for a torn ACL/PCL/meniscus? I expect there is another board with members who will be more helpful :).
On the 1st of March 2016 I went for an MRI scan and when the scans where done the doctor said I have a torn ACL on my right knee that I must undergo surgery on the 6th of April. Then I recently found out that am 5weeks pregnancy. My worry is will the ACL reconstruction surgery be done or will it be postponed till I give birth, and won't it be damaged futher because of pregnancy weight my right knee has to carry. What are the dangers of the MRI can I did and the surgery?
So my MRI read, I tore my ACL and meniscus. Although swollen and a bit unstable I have No pain in my knee. However my achilles tendon is like a Charlie horse all the time on same leg. I fell off my bike right onto that knee. Now 2 days later I’m having shooting pains on my heel of the other foot It’s been 1 month since the fall. Is this normal? The pain in my tendon and now my other foot on the bottom of my heel.
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?
My boyfriend was playing football a few week ago and we was hit hard during play and complained of knee pains. He went to the doctor and they said he had a bruised acl and there was nothing that could really be done. Is that really true is there nothing that can be done, and if so how long does it take to heal, and will his leg ever be the same so he can be athletically active again?
acl: the acl shows no frank tear or mass effect. there is altered signal in ligament which could reflect mucoid degeneration distally where it is clearly of a partial remote tear.
medial meniscus: shows mild truncation of the body with subtie suggestion of a possible small vertical radial tear of the free margin of the body of the meniscus.
lateral meniscus: shows no evidence of frank tear likely intrasubstance degerneration of the anterior horn.
When this occurred I was told that because I was not in my teens or a professional athlete a repair was not advised. I had a scope done and they cleaned up with torn edges of the ACL. It reduced my pain level. I then had weeks of PT to build supporting structures. It took about two years before the knee would not give out on me and about 12 months before the pain was basically gone.
It is my understanding that today they do reconstructive surgeries on most ppl with torn ACLs.
A few months back I decided to see a orthopedic doctor to find out how my knee was holding up. Got the MRI done. Bad news was it was a complete ACL tear but the good news was that the meniscus is intact. He recommended the reconstruction surgery but didn't think it had to be done immediately.
Last week when showeling the snow, I slipped on a sheet of ice and my knee "gave away".
Five weeks ago I had a complete tear of my ACL, torn miniscus, and torn MCL. The orthopaedist thinks I'll need surgery on my ACL, and he suggested I wait until summer since I'm a school employee. The other two tears should heal on their own. I've had four physical therapy sessions, and the Physical Therapist is amazed that I have almost complete range of motion and virtually no pain. My knee does feel unstable, though. I have two questions: 1.
