Mr Lavender will discuss the options with you at your consultation, as every patient has unique circumstances and individual needs.

Physiotherapy will be required. In the first instance this is to reduce the swelling and improve the range of movement in the knee. Then it is used to build up the muscles around the knee.

A brace may be used initially to hold the Tibia (Shin Bone) in the right place. This gives the ligament the best chance of healing on its own.

Surgery to make you a new ligament is less common, but may be required if you have damaged other structures around the knee.

Due to the nature of the injury you have sustained, the knee is more at risk of arthritis when you are older. This is because you have had such a large injury to your knee.
