 Posted: Jun 11, 2006 1:12 pm Post subject: Knee Injury Question? |
 |
|
I took a friend riding for the first time on Thursday and he messed up his knee. He was able to get up and ride around but was kind of straining against the rope. He said he tweaked his knee and he said it especially hurts on the outside of his knee. He can put weight on it and can even stand on one foot on it but he definitely is limping around. Any idea what he might have done or damaged?
Thanks,
Josh |

MCl is the outside tendon thing.. so maybe a strain of it! I think that is right.. ACL is inside, PCL is back, and i think MCL is side.... maybe a slight strain of it!

What anatomy book were you looking at???  The "L" stands for ligament in all those initials you're regurgitating and " M" stands for medial.
King of the Tigers, your description is very vague. The best thing for your friend to do is have an Orthopod take a look or at least someone who has a sports medicine background.
