A member asked:
What to do if i have possibly torn my acl, miniscus, or mcl. how long would my full recovery be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See ORS: Your question about the possibility of injury to these knee ligaments and cartilage is too vague.U need to be examined and see exactly what has been injured specifically because the treatment will vary. Meniscus tears alone may require arthroscopic surgery. Acl , and mcl injuries treatment differs esp. @ age 49 w/ severity of instability, activity level, etc..See a board certified ors.
