Please answer my question! Serious knee injury!?!
Question: Please answer my question! Serious knee injury!!?
okay so i stepped in a big hole at the softball fields!. my right knee buckled, it snapped back far then snapped forward far!. I went to the doctor and they said it was a badly sprained!. so i was put on crutches because it hurt so bad to walk on!. it has now been two weeks and my knee is hurting sooo bad, worse then when i did it, and when i walk my just pops forward!. so i'm still on crutches and when i got an X-ray it said it was just a sprain but now since this is going on i have to get an MRI tomorrow!.!.!. or i guess today lol!. they did one of these little tests, just bending it and stuff, and it tested positive for ACL!. they think they found that because the swelling went down!. but anyway, I am thirteen, a little overweight, play tons of softball, and still have a lot of growth plate left!. do you have any idea about what could be wrong with my knee, do you think i will have to have surgery, and would they because of my age and growth plate!?!?!? thanks!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I did the exact same thing when I was 17!. They even thought it was just a sprain at first, but found out later after an MRI that my ACL was actually torn!.
They'll probably want to do reconstructive surgery on it since you're still young and active!. It's got nothing to do with your growth plate; your ACL is just a ligament that aids in stability of the knee!. Older people who are less active can get away with it still being torn, but for you, they'll do a reconstruction!. I got mine reconstructed for the same reason!.
The surgery isn't that bad!. They usually take a small piece of your hamstring tendon and attach it to the torn edges of the ACL to make a new substitute!. There's hardly any big incisions because it's all tone orthroscopically!. Odds are you'll just have some small scars!.
You'll have to do 6-8 months of physical therapy, though, which can be kind of painful!. But it works wonders, and if you follow all their instructions, your knee should return to 85-90% of its previous health!. It'll never really be the same again, though!. (not to scare you! It's really not a big deal, you'll recover just fine)Www@Answer-Health@Com
