Relative to the tibia (your shin bone), which way did your knee shift. If your tibia seemed to translate anterior (forward), that could possibly, and probably indicate an acl injury. If your knee joint opens up on the medial side, your MCL would be sprained. Do you have significant pain and swelling? Pain at the joint line or on the medial apect of your knee? This is something that should be checked by your physician, who could then refer you to an orthopaedic. Stress tests will be done and probably an MRI will be ordered. Worst case scenario, if your ACL is torn and surgery is warranted, do not be afraid to go forward. It is a very common procedure with quite an extensive rehab. It is well worth the trouble to return you to the quality of life you experienced pre injury. I have probably rehabed over 30 ACL patients in my career. It is not necessarily fun, but the alternative is much worse. Good luck.

It sounds as in case you have cartilage harm on your knee. If you will have a dip, the cartilage is disappearing. That may also account for the snapping side of it. In reality, I'm practically constructive that that is what it's on account that mine is the equal method. lf you will have been athletic, or if you're genetically inclined to knee disorders, that is most likely what is going on. An X-ray would inform for certain. It it's the cartilage, then you will have a number of choices: a million. Live with it. If the affliction is conceivable, that is usually the fine factor to do. two. Have orthroscopic surgical procedure. This will blank out the "floating" cartilage on your knee. three. Have a cartilage transplant. This outcome in significant scars on each side of the knee. Also, they have not been doing it too extraordinarily lengthy, so it's difficult to verify abilities luck premiums. four. Have a knee alternative. They is not going to do that until you're significantly injured or a minimum of into center age. The replacements do not final and you're going to finally ought to have a different one. This surgical procedure additionally outcome in significant scars on each side. When it hurts, exchange ice and warmness, and do not maintain it in someone function for too lengthy. Sometimes it is helping to put on a knee brace or bandage. Be very cautious whilst you're strolling round matters. If you're cartilage poor, it's going to harm like hell whilst you hit your knee on whatever. My recommendation is to reside with it. My harm was once detected twenty years in the past, and so they instructed me that if I stop dancing ballet that day, I could stroll on my knees for five years. They additionally mentioned that if I didn't stop dancing, I might have three years. I danced good into my 20's and am 35 now. I am strolling on my possess knees. Yes, they harm commonly, however for me, not one of the to be had choices was once particularly valued at it. I'm ready till they may be able to do transplants orthroscopically, so the scars can be small. Then I'm in!

Was it the whole knee or just the patella? Either way, you probably dislocated whichever. You need to see a doctor ASAP.
