Knee feels loose after fall. what could be wrong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ligament damage: The knee is held together by a combination of muscles, tendons, and ligaments. If after trauma yours feels too loose, you may have torn one or more ligaments, or, less likely, a tendon. You need to see an orthopedist, preferably a knee specialist.
