QID 218854 (Type "218854" in App Search)
A 20-year-old male presents to the emergency department after taking a hit to the knee during a college football game. He complains of diffuse right knee pain, which is worst laterally. Radiographs are obtained do not demonstrate any fractures. MRI is shown in Figure A. On examination, varus and external rotation laxity are noted with the knee in 30° of flexion, but not when flexed to 90°. His remaining ligamentous exam is otherwise stable. You recommend surgical intervention. What outcome would be expected if you were to choose acute repair over reconstruction of his injured ligament?
