Unhappy Triad (Knee Injury)
Hi
I was playing rugby and got tackled knee height on the right side. Hurt slightly but nothing too bad. Next day playing gaa football jumped up for the ball and when I landed got sharp pain in my right knee + unable to strighten.
Went to Hospital x-ray came back clear, told i’d be fine in 2-6 weeks.
So took a couple of weeks off till it all felt ok then as soon as I played again the knee gave and I fell after which it would swell up. I could be walking along and bang it’d give and I’d get very painful shock in my knee.
Anyway went to specialist got mri scan, turns out I’ve torn my acl, strained my medial ligamnet and torn meniscus cartalidge.
At the moment I’m geting intensive physio 3 times a week and in 8 weeks time I hope to have surgery and get it all sorted.
Better be safe than sorry if you feel anything above rings a bell with you dont delay push for an mri scan and save yourself pain and futher damage!!!!!!!
Any1 have the problem I have and get it fixed??? whats it like???

Looks like i’ll be having a bone-patellar tendon-bone graft to repair the acl?
Anyone had these graft method in the past?
Whats the best??
