complete MPFL tear without surgery
So, I’m really in a downward spiral as I’m panicking very much. This is my first dislocation and it happened 8 days ago.
I have a completely ruptured MPFL and I have an avulsion patellar fragment (9mm).
My MCL is high grade injured with many avulsion fragments (24mm)
So, I have a check up appointment in 3 days and I’m so stressed. However, I’ve been in a cast for 8 days and lately I have been able to walk freely (as a safety measure I use crutches as advised).
I don’t feel as the knee is giving out, nor do I feel any pain even when walking or pressing all of my weight on the knee.
I tried touching the knee as to see whether it is tender to touch and it is not. From what I can tell, the swelling is very much down, but the cast makes it difficult to see.
Anyone have any advice because, as I’ve said’ these past few days have not been treating me well.
Thank you in advance
