Had ACL surgery in January and can walk fine now, but when I try to brisk walk, my knee feels like it's giving out. There's still swelling, and I can't bend it past 120 degrees. Sometimes I get sudden pain that reminds me of the injury. Going downstairs is tough even though I can manage upstairs. Is this normal or should I be worried?

Post-ACL symptoms suggest incomplete recovery or complications—repeat evaluation and guided rehab are recommended.

View allMy doctor recommended surgery and putting plates for my injury but I'm wondering if it can heal with just a plaster instead. Is surgery really necessary or are there other options? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife
Whether your injury can heal with just a plaster or requires surgery and plates depends on the severity, location, and type of fracture. Surgery may be necessary for certain fractures, but not all fractures require surgery. Plaster casts can be effective for some fractures, but others may require more invasive treatments like surgery and plates.

I have a 9mm full thickness ACL tear and need surgery - what type of specialist should I see for this procedure? I'm a bit unsure whether to go with an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in sports medicine or a general orthopedic surgeon since they both seem to handle ACL repairs
for an orthopedic specialist if necessary. Make sure that your doctor is medically qualified to treat your ACL tear completely. ACL tear repair treatment and surgery are performed by experienced orthopedic surgeons, so general or family practitioners aren't ideal for treatment.

Got an MRI report showing a complete tear of the medial patellar retinaculum with fluid buildup and swelling, plus a sprain in the ACL and MCL. There's also some bone marrow edema in the lateral femoral condyle and mild knee effusion. Really worried about surgery is there any way to heal this with meds or other treatments instead?
