In this video, I discuss the MRI appearance and mechanism of injury in a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). This is an extremely common sport injury, often seen in the non-contact setting. After watching this video, you will be able to diagnose a ruptured ACL from looking at the MRI images yourself. Hope it helps!

It would also be very interesting to see situations where there is "some ACL left" to try to distinguish between partial tears and sprains - in other words, a situation where it would be much more beneficial to look at all sagittal axial and coronal views.

Also, I would gladly provide you with my MRI reports, if you would like to create another video like that but you do not have MRI reports of other people who have agreed

my daughter tore her ACL fully a month ago and scheduled for ACL surgery in a couple of weeks. Lately her injured knee has been improved tremendously, is this normal? This progress is making me having doubt if the first MRI result is accurate or if she needs to do another MRI to see if her ACL is completely torn or partial?

Glad to hear your daughter is getting better. That is a great question and a hard one for me to answer. Some degree of improvement is definitely normal. I would ask your daughter’s surgeon what he or she thinks about the progress your daughter has made and if surgery is still necessary. As a rule of thumb, surgery is often a good option in young and healthy people with high grade tears. Low grade injuries are often treated without surgery.
