An LMRT was present in 26 (9.8%) of 264 patients, and an MMRT was present in eight (3.0%) (P .008). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pain
To evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes we used the Lysholm score, Tegner activity scale, visual analogue scale for pain (VAS-pain), KOOS and Sherman score. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Swelling
The area will usually swell considerably. Posterior cruciate ligament tears often cause severe pain, which may radiate to the calf. Swelling will usually be much less evident than an ACL tear. [nsmi.org.uk]
Depending on how well it reduces your pain and swelling, you may be able to start a rehabilitative program in a few days. [cedars-sinai.edu]
If the immediate pain and swelling makes it too difficult to judge how severe the injury is, you may need to wear a light splint, apply ice and raise the knee. Once the swelling and pain have lessened, your doctor will make the diagnosis. [cedars-sinai.org]
A 38-year-old man presented with right knee pain and swelling following a football injury. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging showed a complete anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear and lateral meniscal tears. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Finger Pain
Finger pain disappeared or decreased in 3 low-demand patients but persisted in 1 high-demand patient. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Musculoskeletal

Knee Pain
Knee pain and physical function were similar over follow-up between those with and without a complete ACL tear. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It can provide continuous ice cold water and compression for 6 hours, and significantly reduce knee pain and knee swelling. [physioroom.com]

Joint Swelling
Usually, the knee joint swells within a short time following the injury. This is due to bleeding into the knee joint from torn blood vessels in the damaged ligament. [miamisportsmedicine.com]
This may be a sign of bleeding inside the joint. Swelling that occurs suddenly is usually a sign of a serious knee injury. Limited knee movement because of swelling and/or pain. [northshore.org]
[…] ligament injury is when the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is either stretched, partially torn, or completely torn. [1] The most common injury is a complete tear. [1] Symptoms include pain, a popping sound during injury, instability of the knee, and joint [en.wikipedia.org]

Wrist Pain
Abstract Ulnar-wrist pain is a complex problem whose cause often remains elusive. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
This would lead to wrist pain. [drlox.com]
The presence of any combination of symptoms including wrist pain and swelling, decreased or painful grip strength, painful noise at the wrist, or a feeling of instability, should alert the HCP to look beyond the “it’s only sprained” presentation. [3pointproducts.com]

Flexion Contracture
We observed no major changes in range of motion, but flexion contracture gradually appeared in 1 high-demand patient. The average preoperative angle of ulnar deviation was 36 and was corrected to a postoperative angle of 2 . [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Poor Coordination
coordination or jumping and landing strategies joint stiffness (particularly the ankle or hip) inadequate rehabilitation following a previous ACL injury abnormal running biomechanics/technique inappropriate footwear or surfaces being overweight, deconditioned [physioadvisor.com.au]
Treatment
Evaluation of the injury and treatment options, including complex reconstruction will be presented via a case study approach and review of the literature. The focus of this review for treatment of ACL tear was in those younger than 14 years. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
If such intraarticular injuries prove to be a significant risk factor for poor long-term outcome, women may enjoy a better prognosis after reconstruction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis of a MCL tear With appropriate management, most patients with a minor to moderate MCL injury (grades 1 and 2) can return to sport or normal activity within 2 – 8 weeks. [physioadvisor.com.au]
Prognosis The prognosis for these injuries when cared for correctly is good. Time frames vary with the severity of the injury. As a general rule, ligament density and incidence of instability play a role in how quickly these injuries heal. [twinboro.com]
Etiology
A histopathology analysis of the ruptured tendon could provide answers to some unresolved questions about etiology and pathogenesis of this complex injury. [go.galegroup.com]
Background & Etiology The elbow joint is a connection point between the humerus (arm bone) and the radius and ulna (forearm bones.) Ligaments are strong, fibrous connective tissues made of collagen that attach bone to bone. [twinboro.com]

Abstract Theoretical compensation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear could cause quadriceps weakness and hamstring activation, preventing anterior tibial subluxation and affecting the expected hamstring-to-quadriceps ratio. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
