A member asked:
Can you explain if it's possible to walk with a torn acl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Depends on the time from the injury and the amount of swelling after the injury but most people will be able to walk ( without aids) a week or two after tearing their acl esp. If the acl tear is not associated w/ other imjuries( mcl tears, meniscus tears, etc) . See an ors who is board certified and a knee specialist. Best of luck!
