A member asked:
Hi doctor. my mri states that 'subacute pivot shift injury with oesteochondral injury to the lateral femoral condyle and likely full -thickness rupture of the proximal acl'. does this mean i have torn my acl? shouldnt the mri states a full tear instead?

ACL injury: A full thickness tear and a full thickness rupture are essentially the same thing. To answer the first question, yes, you have torn your ACL.

Rupture=tear: Yes, a full thickness rupture is the same as a complete tear of your ACL. If the MRI reading is correct, you have a tear of your ACL. While this is a significant injury to your knee, a surgical reconstruction will allow you to return to vigorous physical activity following a period of rehabilitation.
