Ligament displacement

Dear Doctor: ?

Dear Patient: Usually it will be Ligament tears occurring in the knees. ACL and PCL are the two ligament tears mostly seen in football players due to a sudden turning impact at knee joint. Knee joint displacement is different from ligament tear. First confirm the diagnosis. If it’s a tear then surgery would of great help as medicines would just relieve you of symptoms temporarily. Open or arthroscopic manipulations are followed. Consult an Orthopedic surgeon soon to confirm and get operated; else it would worsen the condition.
