Be careful: You have to be very careful because your injury will cause your knee to be unstable. It is not safe for you to walk on your leg, especially on steps or uneven surfaces, because it will give out. I would recommend crutches to get around. If you have an immobilizer on your knee, it would be best to keep that on for the time being. You will need to see an orthopedic surgeon to treat this ASAP.
