A member asked:
Is a acl sprain the same as a acl tear? unable to straighten the knee. large knee joint effusion. please help in a lot of pain. thanks.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A full tear is different than a sprain. A sprain can heal whereas the tear will not and the body tries to compensate. The effusion is due to the initial injury that caused this in the first place. The not being able to straighten the knee part is the most concerning...I guess it happened very recently :( Consider ER or bracing at the moment. Schedule to see an orthopedist.
