Message: [QUOTE="bizzow, post: 309010, member: 20626"] How much is the ACL torn? How much is the MCL torn? What is the damage to the meniscus, and how severe is it? A torn meniscus may or may not affect your knee by catching/popping and/or preventing you from being able to bend your knee, and may or may not cause pain. It all depends on the injury. Some people are fully functional with meniscal injuries. But, right now you may be so impeded by the total trauma to your knee that you may not be able to tell how the meniscus will affect you. Here's a positive scenario: If your ACL and MCL have enough tissue intact and are ALLOWED SUFFICIENT TIME TO HEAL, then they may provide some semblance of the original stability that you had in your knee before the injury. Given that, you could have the meniscus problem repaired by arthroscopy and have a relatively quick return to action. No matter what, I hope you recover fully and get back to the track. Good luck.
