I’m so glad I found this video. Recently tore my MCL and ACL and I’m having surgery on my ACL in about 2 weeks. It’s my first major surgery and the more information I know, the better I feel. So thank you 💕
Love you guys!! I learn something EVERYTIME I watch and I come to your site often for personal help and also to help my personal training clients returning to functional fitness after completing PT. Keep posting! :))
Thanks for the video, I’ve recently subscribed- from Australia 👍 you’re both very well educated, I’m going through some knee problems and I’m learning a lot from your videos! Thank you 🙏🏻
Glad I watched this! Currently rehabbing MCL (sprained both LCL and MCL, with MCL taking the brunt, but ACL and PCL looked OK in the MRI) and this is the first I've heard about proprioception issues, which explains some of the issues that I'm having
So glad you mentioned the 'grades', as I have several medicalese terms, lol. Meniscus, ACL, MCL, and fractured tibia. 7 weeks out, swelling came down after 2, but if I can find out those 'grades' of my injuries, I will have a better idea of whether surgery is likely. I'm on a walker, just barely put weight on that leg. Cross fingers!☝️
Dang how! I was in a motorcycle wreck and tore my PCL ACL and fractured my tibia in 2 places (was sticking out of my leg) and my fibula (also was sticking out lol)
Just Broke my ACL LCL and PCL.... right knee.... fell off my bike.. I'm 2nd day out of surgery ........ I never thought I'd be here watching this video..... thank you so much.... I'm in soo much pain... knee brace is so uncomfortable but its support...... thanks Uploader.

Very informative video. my husband has a near complete tear of acl. he was playing volleyball. he is a corporate professional who lives to jog. We really want to avoid surgery. do u have any views?
My friend has his lcl ligament (outside of his knee joint) that's sore after a wide leg stretch for karate training. Can you please post a video for that please
10:00 Aha! Jumped over a fence, lower on landing side, and I came down just the way you showed because I misjudged it, and also turning slightly LEFT as i came down. It was like my left leg snapped twice sideways. Ambulance came, I couldnt move. Anyway, great demonstration of landing from a jump, guys! ( although I dont think I could have done better,-- except, of course, dont jump over fences for short cuts!)☝️😇
My acl tore completely. First injury mosh pit 16 years ago. "Trick knee" fell down the snowy stairs last winter and lost all stability after that. I think thats went from a tear to a floating freely acl lol... Week 5 post surgery this is a process whew!
Hi, I appreciate your videos. I have an elongated scapholunate ligament on my right hand, which I injured boxing. I have undergone therapy and cold laser, but only get temporary relief at most. My hand is stable, and I can close my grip fine, however if I exercise or use my hand a lot, I get discomfort. What would you recommend? Are there any supplements that could help? WIll the scapholunate ligament heal by itself?
Hi Bob n Brad! I have valgus deformity, ,(knock knees), my patella are dislocated, and a Collagen Deficiency Disorder, called Ehlers-Danlos Hypermobe. For 15 years I tried to figure out what my trash can full of symptoms . My first diagnosis was Fibromyalgia. But I didn't stop there, because it's too vague. Anyhow, as time goes on I keep having more symptoms! I found out my patella were displaced about age 45; I could no longer squat and stand. In 2016, age 57, my right knee had a very painful MCL tear. Advice was to brace it and let it mend. Because of EDS it didn't take weeks, it took months,! I had to do stairs several times a day, that became my PT. It never really healed, and my DO recommended s Fulkerson Osteotomy in 2017-18. I went to rehab direct from the operation. It was painful. But I got walking and went home. From there on, I would have sharp pain about every 6 weeks. It took about 4 weeks to heal, and might have 2 weeks of activity, then the pain. I started diagramming the areas, and when I looked up knee anatomy, I realized I had been tearing every ligament near my knee! I also still have cartilege under my kneecaps, that started about 15 years ago. It was supposed to get "cleaned out" during that surgery. I don't think so! So, last summer, 2019, I sprained it again. Then it was a regular thing. A few days ago, I had another problem. My Fibula actually popped out of place! I am trying to figure out what exactly in need to do to pop it back in. I need to not sit Indian-style evermore!! I'm wondering these things: 1. Should I have surgery to replace the tendon? 2. Should I just get a knee replacement? 3. Would cadaver parts be better, or how would I know donated ligament would match my blood type, and would that part get the EDS from me? Sorry this is so long! Not sure how to find a reply! Thank you very much!! Diana Crockett
Any suggestions for long distance riders (equestrians) with knee issues? We stand or post for sometimes hours, knees bent, of course, but that's a beating on young knees, as we get older, and often more injured, ouch.
Hi docs. I have a ruptured left patellar tendon (not complete tear)due to a bad fall. Prior to that I have advanced arthritis and baker’s cyst. What is the options aside from surgery if needed on my situation?
Can these tears be graded on a regular x-ray? I fell on my knees 3times this past year and now after having to care for my husband (total quad tear) and doing the stairs too often, I have a sharp pain and instability when I straighten my leg. I am hobbling around with my knee in a bent position. The Dr I went to thinks I have arthritis. I am scheduled for phys therapy. Thanks!!
I have a full ACL year but wasn’t eligible for surgery. It’s causing me to separate from the Marine Corps, but I am now able to jog up to medium speeds, no restriction upper body lifting, and only mild restriction lower body lifting (no heavy dead’s or squats). I strengthen my legs daily with banded exercises and stretch and normal life is absolutely normal, like nothing ever happened. However, I will never play competitive sports or perform duties as a Marine, so luckily I planned to discharge anyway and start my business. What you intend to do in life determines whether the surgery is needed or not
I have a grade 3 ACL,MCL,PCL tear since 6 month and am back to 100%movement after 5 weeks of 5h daily rehab. Now weight bearing, hiking, running even sitting on my heels for 5 minutes without any pain - after research this seems like a miracle and doctors don't recommend surgery. Although I think I should have surgery due to my physical lifestyle and work (rope access/construction, snowboard etc) I have a surgery planned but might opt out of it - really not sure what the best way of action is for me.l but am worried that my knee will prematurely wear out due to my active lifestyle I want to keep.
With a grade 1 sprain mcl, should I continue exercise? It hurts and is uncomfortable but is not excruciating. However, I’ve learned to listen to my body when it hurts to prevent further damage and have been steering away from sports and exercise, but I miss it! What should I do?
Long Question: I know this is an old video, but would like your opinion on my injury. Several years ago, I had an acute injury to my knee. I was flying down basement steps with hands full not holding onto the rail. At the bottom I turned to go left, but my toe caught on something left in the floor. In an instant I knew I was going down hard on concrete, so I stiffened my right leg to prevent my knee from hitting concrete. Surprisingly to me my foot was firmly planted on the floor and didn’t budge either. I went down fast and hard and my knee bent BACKWARD and I experienced a very loud and painful snap in the back of my right knee. I couldn’t get up and my son ran to the basement and basically carried me up the steps. The injury swelled and I stayed on the sofa for over a week, gradually the pain subsided. My family begged me to go to the hospital, but I have had bad experiences with doctors and don’t trust them. I recovered some and used a crutch, then cain to get around. After 5 months and hitting a recovery plateau, I went to an orthopedic doctor. I wrote all this down and sent to him before the appointment. His very young assistant (his son?) read thru my note, but skipped over the pop and hurting in back of my knee. He didn’t do any of these procedures to check the ligaments, but pulled on my leg some. I told him that when I sleep on my back it feels like the knee is bending backward, so I have to bend my injured leg to the right to sleep. Then the ortho took an X-ray and told me that I had arthritis and had had it for years and needed a knee replacement. He also refused to discuss how I go the injury and the loud and painful snap. They wouldn’t even look at the red spot still behind my right knee that shows where it snapped and where I still get some swelling and pain. I told him I was not doing a knee replacement, after which he had a temper tantrum and started throwing stuff around. I did a couple sessions of PT, but never back to him. I know this is ligament damage and I’m functional, but standing or walking too long will give me swelling, pain behind the knee and often shin splints on the right lower leg as I use muscles to keep my leg aligned. I also have problems with my knee going out of joint if I walk too fast and sling my lower leg out too far. I am convinced that this is ligament damage and not cartilage. I don not have bone on bone pain. What do you think and how do you pick a competent doctor who will listen to a woman over 50???
I was injured in Iraq, doc over there said it was a sprained knee. After a month on crutches, went back to work as an infantryman. For about 7 months did my ruck marches, pt test, and job. Got back to the states, knee started locking. Check myself in, after mri, doc said I blown my acl and tore my meniscus.
@@zaincps3029 Got surgery while I was in. Got out of the military with just 10% disability for my knee. Took a long time, but after many VA claims, at 100%.
Hello sir ! What shall I do to my injury? I was injured for 5 mons. Then I still feel the deep pain of my knee I cannot even take a complete jump As I could before. And my first MRI state that just a sprain but i still feel the pain of my knee.
years ago I actually injured both my ACL and LCL. playing floor hockey. I was hit with a 2-hand slash across the front of me left knee from the right side.
@@ritikarajput3727 I did get surgery, but several years later. For the most part I was able to function normally with physiotherapy and keeping the muscles strong. It wasn't until many years later that I decided to have the surgery. The surgery is a slow recovery. There are typically at least 3 things you need to be aware of. First, the ligament repair will typically feel good within weeks of the surgery. For me I was able to walk without pain and with full mobility within 3 weeks. However, they typically harvest part of your hamstring tendon to replace the ligament. This takes roughly 3-4 months to fully transform from tendon to ligament. And while you might feel good and strong, your new ligament is not and can very easily be torn. Follow the advice of your physiotherapist. Second, they take part of you hamstring tendon and Thant makes your hamstring very weak. For normal people this can take 9-12 months to feel better. Third, there is always an increase risk of arthritis after the surgery.
I hurt my knee 2 months ago, and got an MRI. I was told it was a grade 1 sprain. But it still bothers me now and pinches in the back of my leg when I flex my leg as its bent. I'm stuck and want to get back on the field.
what type of damage can occur if surgery is recommended but it doesn't happen. I had a torn pcl and mcl. I am mobile and it feels okay but twinges on occasion.
My son in an accident at work ( he does live action shows in amusement parks) tore his ACL, MCL, PCL, Posterior Lateral Corner, popliteal artery, poroneal nerve. This happened June 11th, He has had a few surgeries but still no repair of the ACL, PCL, The meniscus was flipped back over. He has a orthotic for his foot drop. My question is can he start weight bearing without the surgery. We are hoping it happens in the next few weeks but he feels like he can put the foot down. But your video seems to say maybe the fluid inside may not want pressure until the surgery is done. We have a good orthopedic surgeon Dr Michael Shepard in Orange Ca., but he is waiting on vascular to give him permission to operate. Can he use pressure?
I am almost 6 months in on meniscus surgery with medial and lateral ligament strain and sprain with a 30% ACL tear and I have had no improvement. This is with physical therapy. do you feel I need to have the ACL repaired? My MCL is pretty inflamed.
I tore my PCL in 1996 playing softball. I was covering home/blocking home (natural catcher reaction), and the girl never slid, she just ran into my leg, hit me right below the kneecap and I just dropped. It felt like my knee was falling out of my leg through the back. Went to 2 different doctors who both told me I had a bad bruise. :( No MRI, just xrays to make sure there was no break. I couldn't walk without my leg giving out forward with each step. I rested with a knee immobilizer for 5 weeks and then just a knee brace, gradually exercising my quads and hamstrings. Fast forward 6 years, playing ice hockey, I went knee on knee with a girl and immediately felt like my knee was on fire. Felt like everything under my kneecap was just swelling up. Went to a new doctor, one who worked for local pro sports teams, and he said, yeah the PCL is completely torn (MRI confirmed it) but there's nothing we can really do because the surgery for this has only 50/50 odds of better recovery than when you went in. ACL was stretched but fine. I am double my age now from when my injury occurred, and moved to a warmer climate....less problems with the knee now so I think it healed on its own. Occasionally, when I'm playing softball it will jerk forward moreso than it should and hurt a bit, but nothing major. I did actually fracture my ankle (talus) on the same leg 8 years ago playing softball, stepped in a sprinkler hole running for a fly ball, and tore my anterior talofibular ligament. Not sure if the history of knee issues had anything to do with it causing that amount of damage, but it has taken literally 2.5 years to recover and not have pain. I've had to learn how to walk properly again because I've been compensating for my knee and ankle for so many years. I have a really high tolerance for pain so even when these injuries occur, it takes years for me to actually realize it. The ankle, took 7 years to realize something was not right because it started healing so quickly after the injury despite being swollen. I've learned unfortunately how to live and play in pain.
Hello, I tore my Acl and Pcl and need surgery with weeks or months rehab etc will I be able to go back to normal activities walking, cycling, working out?

i tore acl mcl and lcl all in one shot skiing 2 years ago and had surgery on acl but my knee still will buckle if in the right circumstance would this mean my mcl never healed right? itll hurt on the left side of my knee when this happens
Just watching this. I injured my knee when I was 15/16 now am 25 years old. I was good at sports, an athlete you can say. I teared my acl and mcl. Didn't get nothing done now am in pain everyday and it's getting worse. Wats best for knee pain ? Relief
is patellar enthesopathy the same as the MCL, PCL ? I was diagonosed with patellar enthesopathy and having an MRI in dec having a lot of pain getting out of a chair and dr said that I may have to have arthoscopy done, just had a right knee replacement in dec on my right and this is all going on my left
Severed my PCL and ACL in a motorcycle wreck. Sucks. No stability. Also broke my leg in 3 places with 2 bones sticking out. Abs my arm.. fingers hand… torn tendons too.. sucks lol
just had my first anatomy exam 2 days ago. arent the acl and pcl extraarticular but intracapsular? we learned that the synovial membrane makes a bend around the two...
physicaltherapyvideo hmm ok, ill check back with my prof... in the textbook i use its explicitly stated as extraarticular but intracapsular, so the synovial fluid doesnt touch the acl and pcl... could the article refer to it as intraaericular because the two cruciate ligaments are technically within the joint cavity even though they are not within the synovial membrane?
I think I have a grade 1 or tendinitis, a repetitive strain injury that’s been slowly worsening from running. I’ve been resting and doing rehab exercises for a month but I’m getting impatient. It’s getting better but it’s slow going. My knees aren’t unstable just swollen and sore in the back and sides.
Hi, I have right knee acl partial tear with symptoms not balance n confident when walking and sickness, after doing scope and put injection gel, the leg feel more high than the left normal leg..it give me not balance n difficult for me when walking..what to do to make the knee leg walking normal?
I have a class tour upcoming in about 20-25 days . I had menisectomy and was said to have partial acl tear. I am having sturture removed tomorrow. I can perfectly walk now. But i fear weather i should go to the tour. please help...
If I could run half marathon after having hyperextended my knee the day before (doing a simple front kick/martialarts), does that mean the degree of injury in this case was very low?
thanks to your advices on eexercisess for tennis elbow recovery I cured my tennis elbow alone last year. Now I injuried my mcl. last week. I hope it will recover with my exercise but i walk really hard and odd... I am torn. It does not seem that it will heal easily.
Had an injury 11 years ago never went to a doctor, it took me almost a year to walk with out a decent. And it has never felt strong it pops out of place it feels and gives out, if I step with weight not under me it gives out.

I told him I was not doing a knee replacement, after which he had a temper tantrum and started throwing stuff around. I did a couple sessions of PT, but never back to him. I know this is ligament damage and I’m functional, but standing or walking too long will give me swelling, pain behind the knee and often shin splints on the right lower leg as I use muscles to keep my leg aligned. I also have problems with my knee going out of joint if I walk too fast and sling my lower leg out too far. I am convinced that this is ligament damage and not cartilage. I don not have bone on bone pain. What do you think and how do you pick a competent doctor who will listen to a woman over 50???
I will be have surgery for my MACL and ACL and PACL
Question for this: Should I be seeing an orthopedic doctor for these sorts of diagnoses or go straight to a physical therapist?
Tore my ACL couple days ago.. home from work currently high af.. these guys are awesome
I'd definitely revist the cameraman situation tho
Corey Blyther haha u sound just like me
I was injured in Iraq, doc over there said it was a sprained knee. After a month on crutches, went back to work as an infantryman. For about 7 months did my ruck marches, pt test, and job. Got back to the states, knee started locking. Check myself in, after mri, doc said I blown my acl and tore my meniscus.
Then what did you do?

Got surgery while I was in. Got out of the military with just 10% disability for my knee. Took a long time, but after many VA claims, at 100%.
Hello sir !
What shall I do to my injury?
I was injured for 5 mons. Then I still feel the deep pain of my knee I cannot even take a complete jump As I could before. And my first MRI state that just a sprain but i still feel the pain of my knee.
years ago I actually injured both my ACL and LCL. playing floor hockey. I was hit with a 2-hand slash across the front of me left knee from the right side.
Did u operate ur knee...?
Actually I also got injured while playing basketball but I don't want to operate my knee
@@ritikarajput3727 I did get surgery, but several years later. For the most part I was able to function normally with physiotherapy and keeping the muscles strong. It wasn't until many years later that I decided to have the surgery.
The surgery is a slow recovery. There are typically at least 3 things you need to be aware of.
First, the ligament repair will typically feel good within weeks of the surgery. For me I was able to walk without pain and with full mobility within 3 weeks. However, they typically harvest part of your hamstring tendon to replace the ligament. This takes roughly 3-4 months to fully transform from tendon to ligament. And while you might feel good and strong, your new ligament is not and can very easily be torn. Follow the advice of your physiotherapist.
Second, they take part of you hamstring tendon and Thant makes your hamstring very weak. For normal people this can take 9-12 months to feel better.
Third, there is always an increase risk of arthritis after the surgery.
I hurt my knee 2 months ago, and got an MRI. I was told it was a grade 1 sprain. But it still bothers me now and pinches in the back of my leg when I flex my leg as its bent. I'm stuck and want to get back on the field.
Thanks god youtube recommended this video.. I through my mcl need to be surgery my it can heal naturally. God bless you
Your mcl is heal
what type of damage can occur if surgery is recommended but it doesn't happen. I had a torn pcl and mcl. I am mobile and it feels okay but twinges on occasion.
When we are 15, I believe the bones haven't fully finished developing but is it still okay to get surgery?. I think I have a grade 2 ACL.
My son in an accident at work ( he does live action shows in amusement parks) tore his ACL, MCL, PCL, Posterior Lateral Corner, popliteal artery, poroneal nerve. This happened June 11th, He has had a few surgeries but still no repair of the ACL, PCL, The meniscus was flipped back over. He has a orthotic for his foot drop. My question is can he start weight bearing without the surgery. We are hoping it happens in the next few weeks but he feels like he can put the foot down. But your video seems to say maybe the fluid inside may not want pressure until the surgery is done. We have a good orthopedic surgeon Dr Michael Shepard in Orange Ca., but he is waiting on vascular to give him permission to operate. Can he use pressure?
I am almost 6 months in on meniscus surgery with medial and lateral ligament strain and sprain with a 30% ACL tear and I have had no improvement. This is with physical therapy. do you feel I need to have the ACL repaired? My MCL is pretty inflamed.

Good job guys❤ Do we hv pain swelling in grade 1 2 as well like grade 3
I tore my PCL in 1996 playing softball. I was covering home/blocking home (natural catcher reaction), and the girl never slid, she just ran into my leg, hit me right below the kneecap and I just dropped. It felt like my knee was falling out of my leg through the back. Went to 2 different doctors who both told me I had a bad bruise. :( No MRI, just xrays to make sure there was no break. I couldn't walk without my leg giving out forward with each step. I rested with a knee immobilizer for 5 weeks and then just a knee brace, gradually exercising my quads and hamstrings. Fast forward 6 years, playing ice hockey, I went knee on knee with a girl and immediately felt like my knee was on fire. Felt like everything under my kneecap was just swelling up. Went to a new doctor, one who worked for local pro sports teams, and he said, yeah the PCL is completely torn (MRI confirmed it) but there's nothing we can really do because the surgery for this has only 50/50 odds of better recovery than when you went in. ACL was stretched but fine. I am double my age now from when my injury occurred, and moved to a warmer climate....less problems with the knee now so I think it healed on its own. Occasionally, when I'm playing softball it will jerk forward moreso than it should and hurt a bit, but nothing major. I did actually fracture my ankle (talus) on the same leg 8 years ago playing softball, stepped in a sprinkler hole running for a fly ball, and tore my anterior talofibular ligament. Not sure if the history of knee issues had anything to do with it causing that amount of damage, but it has taken literally 2.5 years to recover and not have pain. I've had to learn how to walk properly again because I've been compensating for my knee and ankle for so many years. I have a really high tolerance for pain so even when these injuries occur, it takes years for me to actually realize it. The ankle, took 7 years to realize something was not right because it started healing so quickly after the injury despite being swollen. I've learned unfortunately how to live and play in pain.
Thanks for this! I had exactly the same injury

Severed my PCL and ACL in a motorcycle wreck. Sucks. No stability. Also broke my leg in 3 places with 2 bones sticking out. Abs my arm.. fingers hand… torn tendons too.. sucks lol
just had my first anatomy exam 2 days ago.
arent the acl and pcl extraarticular but intracapsular? we learned that the synovial membrane makes a bend around the two...
physicaltherapyvideo
hmm ok, ill check back with my prof... in the textbook i use its explicitly stated as extraarticular but intracapsular, so the synovial fluid doesnt touch the acl and pcl...
could the article refer to it as intraaericular because the two cruciate ligaments are technically within the joint cavity even though they are not within the synovial membrane?
I think I have a grade 1 or tendinitis, a repetitive strain injury that’s been slowly worsening from running. I’ve been resting and doing rehab exercises for a month but I’m getting impatient. It’s getting better but it’s slow going. My knees aren’t unstable just swollen and sore in the back and sides.
