Bumping.
Had a family member blow their knee and after seeing a knee specialist they feel confident it's a full tear. Only imaging done so far is an x-ray, no MRI yet.
They have a follow-up soon and so far they've outlined either rehab or surgery as the options.
This thread is a bit old so wondering if anyone has semi-recent experiences on what they decided and outcomes? They're mid 30's and very active with sports.
Also are waitlists pretty high for this kind of surgery? I know with my back I waited a year before I could get surgery done, so I'm inclined to tell them to get referred to a surgeon ASAP and then discuss with them what makes sense vs waiting. Also surprised that they haven't been told an MRI is necessary (yet) to confirm the full tear diagnosis, but again my experience is back and not related to this.
Any insights or recommendations in general would be appreciated!
