Torn knee ligament: A torn knee ligament or meniscus will be painful, so that's the most common symptom. The knee can feel unsteady so you don't trust it to bear your weight without giving out.

Question 4

3mris in 3yrs =early avn of joint/wornout cartlidge/torn labrum. bc of worsening symptoms, had new mri =normal except ligament tear. mixup or healed??

Accepted Answer

If it's the hip you-: -are talking about,it sounds like a mix up to me. Things such as a labral tear as well as AVN do not heal like that.

There are now 6.0T. MR's in large centers but more dangerous if you have any metallic pieces in U
