Yep, I can read an MRI of the knee

So my ACL has completely pulled off my femur, I have a torn medial meniscus, and a bone bruise. ACL ruptures cannot be repaired only reconstructed. The reconstruction is done with part of my patellar tendon (and bone fragments), a hamstring segemnt, or the same from a cadaver. Just goes to show that you never know what they will use when you die and give your body over to "science". I have another appointment with the Dr. who will do the surgery to talk about which to use and when. Poopy.
