A member asked:
I landed on my knee wrong and it twisted outwards too far, do i have a torn acl or mcl?

It depends.: Falling awkwardly can lead to an ACL or mcl tear, but it might not cause any major damage at all. If your knee is still symptomatic several weeks after an inury, you should probably have it evaluated by a trained prefssional and get an MRI scan to see what's going on.

Maybe: Your knee needs to be examined by a physician to determine what is damaged or not.
