@XxCLFxX you should consider surgery I also tried without surgery, even after 6months rehab it popped and later it also dislocated, so my doctor advised surgery since continous popping and dislocating is not good at all for the knee, especially not the meniscus. If yours popped 13 times and dislocated 5 times already i suggest you telll ur doctor about it, and he''ll probably suggest surgery

Okay so I tore my ACL 5 months ago and I've blown it out like atleast 13 times and then I've dislocated it and had to pop it into place 5 times and I'm thinking I injured my knee more sergeant because it did start popping outta place until about a month ago what could I have possible done to worsen my injuries?

@bollipopman Get yourself along to a Physiotherapist, Chiro or an Osteo. They will assess the problem and organise a scan if required. You don't need a GP referral (in Australia). If there hasn't been any improvement in 12 days you really do need to get a professional opinion. I am surprised your GP didn't send you along to a physical therapist to at least rule out any underlying issues. Good luck. Regards CC

@combinedriver8322 not true at all! I could run, sprint, jump, play football and after 3 weeks of the injury.. and I've done this injury and torn cartilage

This can be done so easy! I landed awkwardly playing football and hurt my knee. I went to hospital and i could put full weight on it and run after 3 weeks. I got my MRI results back and i have torn my cruciate ligament and have to have 3 cartilage reconstructed. So i would advise anyone that has injured their knee to get it checked straight away

Your post op recovery will require several visits to a physiotherapist who will assist in providing a series of strengthening exercises based on your progress. The more compliant you are the better the recovery. Many elite athletes suffer more serious ACL injuries and return to their sport at elite level post op so don't be discouraged. Recovery in the most part is up to the patient.

my left knee got injured, MRI result found that my ACL is attenuated and considered partial tear and same with my medial meniscus is teared up. i need your advice if after the operation my knee would it back in normal as 100 percent sure as before? and what maybe the risk in the future if happen again and the replace legament will torn again.

@nrdanish99 Get it fixed, it can lead to arthritis and major knee issues when your older.
