Medical Q re knee
Posted on 2/6/14 at 9:09 pm

Playing pickup basketball. Planted foot to jump and heard something pop. I can walk but I cannot straighten my knee out or it will buckle. What did I tear?

That poor ACL has been pushed to its limit for far too long

You can walk with a torn acl, but it will come loose of you start to run or cut.

Sounds like ACL, but you just need to check it out...

You know it sounds to me like this might be a torn acl.
But I'm not sure.
I'm gonna have to call in an expert in torn acls to take a look.
But right now I'd say go see a doctor. Best I can do man.

Sounds exactly what happened when I tore my ACL in half years ago. If it is the ACL, expect your knee to swell to double it's size soon

ACL. Go see an orthopedic next week.
I could walk fine after, but the pop and buckling are pretty evident.

Sounds like toxic shock syndrome

Like others have said, sounds like a ligament injury.
Go get an MRI.

What can the ER do and what will they do? Only reason I would go tonight is to be told if it's torn or not. Not a lot of pain. Will they do scan if I ask?

don't go to the ER for that
call an orthopedic in the morning to set up an appt
ETA: unless you are experiencing just teeth-gritting pain, the only thing the ER is gonna do is eye-roll you and waste your time
ETA2: prob best to call GP first because I am sure your insurance will require a referral

ACL sounds like or some other ligamentous/tendinous issue
go see GP to confirm or go to Ortho for expedited care

This is why squats and dead lifts are so critical. You do a bunch of curls for the girls and then pop your knee out
