How many weeks away from sport following my MRI results from my L) knee injury?
I hurt my knee on sat playing football (AFL) and my MRI results are as follows. Just wondering, if I do all the right things, how long will it take to recover and be able to play again. Thankyou in advance!!
MRI - LEFT KNEE
Findings: Kissing osteochondral impaction injury noted involving the anterior weightbearing lateral femoral condyle and adjacent tibial plateau with a subchondral trabecular fracture within the anterior and lateral tibial plateaus. Appearance consistent with a subtle 1-2mm depression anteriorly within the lateral tibial plateau towards the tibial eminence.
Medially there is a small focus of osteochondral impaction within the anterior medial tibial plateau towards the intercondylar notch. There is abnormal hyperintense signal within the posterior body and horn of the medial meniscus with appearance of associated meniscal body extrusion, thickened MCL as well as meniscocapsular injury both superiorly and inferiorly. Disrupted posterior capsule and appearance consistent with a tear within the anterior medial meniscal root.
No high grade lateral meniscal tear identified with preserved articular cartilage. LCL intact as is popliteus. Sprain within ACL and PCL without high grade tear.
Patellofemoral articulation appears satisfactory. There is partial thickness tear within the musculotendinous junction of semimembranosus with surrounding traumatic fluid. There is low grade sprain within the muscle belly of popliteus.
Comment:
1. Osteochondral kissing injury in regard to the lateral compartment with minor depression involving the lateral tibial plateau.
2. MCL sprain with meniscocapsular injury and features consistent with a non displaced horizontal tear within the posterior body horn junction of medial meniscus as well as meniscal root avulsion.
3. No high grade chondral flap.
4. ACL and PCL sprain without high grade tear.
5. Partial thickness tear within popliteus as well as musculotendinous junction of semimembranosus.
