A member asked:
Should i be concerned if my knee keeps collapsing due to loose ligaments, how can i improve this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You should be concerned if your knee is unstable. This may indicate a ligament injury that will not improve without surgery. Have your surgeon evaluate your knee for ligament damage. Some ligaments will heal and some will not. Avoiding activities that give you a sense of instability will help protect your knees for permanent damage.
