  • Excellent video and narration. This is a wonderful way to enlighten people on their injuries verbally and visually! Thank you so much for taking the time to post this.

  • @Cassiegirl86

    If it flattens out back into the original position you will regain most of the mobility, but certain positions can uplift it again or cause it to flare up. I just had my surgery consultation today so it's fresh in my mind :(

  • I have a bucket handle tear now and my doctor wouldn't tell me how bad it is. He just said a large bucket handle tear and said he has to check with the MRI scan to see how bad it is. But I'm having surgery nxt tuesday. I hope it's repairable. But it's funny cuz I can straighten my leg (not fully), but I can't bend it as much.

  • Hey. i was just wondering. my leg is locked at the moment and i cant straighten it. i went to the doctor , he belives its a meniscus tear and has reffered me to a knee surgen. thing is im only 16, still at college. and im missing college becuase i cant get there, the journeys to long ect to go on cructhes. how long do you reckon it will take i can have my surgery>? bare in mind im young and still in full time education

  • @WFUfandude Did you guys have an Operation on your knee? I might be having an Operation in 1-2 weeks. Awaiting results from MRI since my consultant has constructed that I have A Bucket Handle Tear.

  • @bored8215 same here brah 

  • i tore my meniscus up into a bucket handle tear and tore my ACL..all i have to say is that it hurt like a bi**h......

    on a lighter note...Im so glad this video actually explains what happens because its so hard to find information explaining bucket handle tears.. so thank you!!
