History and physical: Would recommend an orthopaedic history and physical to see if further workup including and MRI to make the definitive diagnosis. For an ACL tear, one most often has a significant injury to the knee with an immediate filling of the joint with blood. Chronic symptoms of ACL tear are giving way of the knee and a persistent effusion.
