I tore my ACL and a meniscus 3yrs back..kept playing with brace after icing..eventully it took a toll on the knee…cos the longer you prolong the injury ; greater the injury will be…anyway getting it reconstruced in Sept..teh sucky part is the PT and long healing process….so ppl go have your surgery..worth it..

Dear Greg,
Though the description of your mom’s injury does sounds like a possible ACL tear, there could be more to it than just an ACL. Bring her to see a doctor and get them to assess your mom’s knee. Feel free to contact me if there’s any futher queries.
Regards
Calvin

Mom needs assistance to be lifted onto her potty chair next to the bed. In doing so, lift and twist onto the chair is required. At te time a very loud pop was heard and immedicately a very large bubble developed below the left knee. She complains with severe pain to the knee and her buttocks. Is this considered an ACL tear based on the information read.
thanks.

It’s a very well-informed post. Educates sports people with not much knowledge of sports injury. Thank you Mr Sim =)
