What Does This MRI Test Result For Left Knee Injury Indicate?

Hi Doctors, I had an injury in my left knee during ski a month ago. I heard a pop and then I stopped skiing. I felt some in that day but was not too bad. My doctors were suspicious of partial tear in my ACL or LCL. Please see the MRI results of my left knee in the link below: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s78fipegm0xadxa/MRI-Left%20Knee.pdf?dl=0 I put images from front, side and axial. Is there any tear in my ligaments or any other damage in other parts, meniscus, knee cap, etc.? My appointment with my doctor is next month but I should go for an urgent trip next week. I would like to know what happen in my knee before I go to trip. Any advice is highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,

* Sorry to say, but the given link does not contain the said images of your knee MRI report anymore.

However, it is recommended that you take utmost care in knee movements during your urgent trip next week.

Once you provide me images of MRI test of the knee injury, I can focus further accordingly.

Till that time, I can say that

- minor injuries or tear can give best results to conservative approach as physiotherapy, ultrasonic waves, wax bath and supportive medications
- resistant cases, moderate to severe injury interfering with daily activities to great extent may need surgery as well.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
