A member asked:
Does the fibrillation on the surface of the acl joint cause your knee to slip and be instable?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Fibrillation means you have some roughness of the surface of the acl that dose not cause your knee to slip out, it is a sign arthritis or slight damage to the ligament. Good luck thanks.

Knee instability : If the acl has laxity or is torn the knee will feel like it is slipping. Fibrillation is not a typical description of the acl.
