I was referred by the surgeon to get an MRI of my left knee. I went into the loud magnetic tube yesterday for 40 minutes and they gave me a nice disk with some images on it. I may not need surgery depending on the condition of the meniscus and the ACL. So far it is agreed upon that I have a grade 3 MCL tear with medial meniscus damage, but the MRI will show what condition my knee is actually in. Snowboarding injury.

  • Whats up man. I tore my ACL and my MCL on the 21st of February. I will be getting surgery of spring break. Did mine skiing! Had my MRI today.

  • @oEwokx you must live in the USA, thats amazingly quick to get a surgery in canada. Im going to find out tomorrow if i need surgery. It would be only to fix the meniscus because MCLs can repair themselves. I got my ACL reconstructed 5 years ago and it helps a lot.

  • @oEwokx How much did the surgery cost you?

  • @RagingDemon89 No surgery needed for this injury. I had an ACL replacement 6 years ago but in Canada we pay for provincial health care coverage, so it costs nothing extra for a surgery.

  • @snowaydude Im not calling you out by any means but would like to clarify not ALL MCL injuries will heal themselves .

    One would have to talk to their surgeon and tell them what they do for actives.

    They would most likely so a scope and repair what needs to be done after looking at the whole knee .You most likely had stitches and some anchoring for your injury. Please update and let us know the results and how you feel up to date .

    Merry x-mass and happy New Year ...

    While your info is MAINLY correct, not ALL MCLs injuries can repair them selves .This is why they are initially graded .A Lachman's test is preformed by the orthopedic dr on range of motion ,Based on that he might suggest a scope and arthroscopic surgery to reattach the MCL's usally they WILL heal them selves if blood is flowing thru and some attached . One would really need have the scope and see how attached it is .Continued ....
