A member asked:
Would it be possible to hyperextend a knee if the injury occurred before? the symptoms are knee pain, swelling and warmth.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
? Yes: if u hyperextended you knee before and had symptoms ( pain , seelling, 'looseness feeling') than the chances are definitely higher of it happening again; esp. if u are 'loose jointed' to begin with and then tore your ACL... See an experienced orthopedic surgeon for examination and diagnosis . Best of Luck!
