I dislocated my knee twice in a month, I guess I didn't learn my lesson the first time But I went in for MRI the second time and this is my report. I was just wondering what opionion any ortho surgeon would give after reading that report..
FINDINGS: There are complex injuries involving the knee. The posterior horn and lateral meniscus show a large bucket handle tear and the fragment is displaced anteromedially.
There is a tear of the anterior cruciate ligament which I suspect is complete in nature or high-grade partial tear.
There is also an injury involving the medical collateral ligament (MCL). This is along the anterior fibers and represents an ioncomplete tear. Possible disruption of the posterior capsule of the knee along the posterolateral corner. There is a contusion also involving the lateral femoral condyle and medial tibial platea, likely representing an impaction injury.

Kepe in mind this wasn't the report given to me, it's the Orthopedist's copy, I simply requested a copy of it for my own interest.
