A member asked:

Mri reports there is a rupture of the mid to proximal aspect of the acl w/ lateral displacement of fibers in torn distal stump. is this a full tear?

The report: Should indicated whether the tear is partial or complete. Just from what you describe, i would suspect it is complete but your doctor should be able to tell you definitively.
