Partial tears of ligaments like the ACL or PCL can be subtle on MRI. In some cases, these findings are difficult to interpret without carefully considering your symptoms and clinical history. If knee instability continues, it is important to review the imaging before returning to sports or high impact activity.
A second opinion from a musculoskeletal radiologist provides a careful reassessment of the ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, helping you and your treating doctor make well informed decisions about the next steps.
How do I know if a partial ligament or tendon tear was missed on my scan?
