My 15 yr old was slowing down at second and just fell down holding her knee...she Injured the MCL during volleyball, but came in saying it was the front of the knee, not the side.
We saw a specialist and it looks like a torn medial patellofemoral ligament issue. They said she likely needs surgery to repair. This was an urgent orthopedic care place and wouldn’t do an MRI until they pre-approved through insurance. Should go back tomorrow for the MRI and will go to a sports medicine orthopedic surgeon later this week.
Her HS team is pretty good and she’s upset that she may be out for the season. Has anyone had this or know if there Is a less evasive non-surgical option?
