[QUOTE="kirks5oh, post: 17010919, member: 23235"] You need a second opinion, likely. This is an mri that shows some possible tears, but might be non-surgical. It’s a crappy read by the radiologist. Don’t know your age, or injury that you had—but repairing a PCL injury is not common, unless you had a major injury. And PCL injuries that need repaired, are more common with big meniscal tears, in younger patients. Totally different injury compared to an acute acl tear, or a meniscal tear in a younger patient. If you talk to 3 different surgeons, you might get 3 different answers as to the treatment. The original poster could talk to 10 different surgeons, and he’s going to get the exact same answer—a knee scope is needed, and hopefully the meniscus tear is repairable given his daughter’s young age, and involvement of the meniscal root. He just needs to make sure the doc is fully comfortable doing repairs, and is not just someone who scopes knees in people who are 40+ (like me), where the meniscus tear is never repairable. [/QUOTE]
