Thank you! I am a Wilderness First Responder and work in the field as an instructor. Knee and ankle injuries are the most frequent thing I see! This helps my diagnostic chain quite a bit. Out in the field correctly evaluating this can make the difference between treating in place or a sometimes difficult evacuation situation.
A long time ago I had a mishap at my previous job, where I tripped over a pallet backwards and my leg went one way and my left knee went the other way and I heard a loud pop. I don’t think I swelled up that much but I couldn’t tell if I did. I suspect I may have torn my acl but I’m not sure. I can’t have it looked at my insurance won’t cover it. Please give me some help advice on what to do.
I also have acl tear about 2 week ago and bone bruising.I can walk but slowly Nd cant completely straighten and bend my knee.Putting ice 3 4 times in a day.Should i go to physiotherapy?
I’m in physical therapy school and this video provides great context to what I’m learning. Thank you!
So glad you find them helpful. More to come! Feel free to share with your classmates.

Great video!
if she would have been able to bear weight after injury, would you have been more suspicious of a meniscus injury instead of an acl?

Why she needs surgery after 1 month?Does acl tear can heal itself without surgery?

Mine is partial acl tear.
It's hard to notice when you minor injury.. of course it's not as bad as the fully acl tear.. but in future it would ruptured anyway
