So you will know that isolated LCL rupture is unusual and associated with ACL and PCL tear....which is my fear.
To try and pick an isolated LCL clinically is difficult for Orthopaedic Consultants, so to expect a junior doc to do so is expecting a lot. As you know a knee can appear stable immediately after an injury due to swelling rendering the anterior draw test, Lachmanns and pivot shift test useless. We won't know for sure until he has had an MRI and anything prior to this is pure conjecture.

hence the negativity you have been getting with your immediate diagnosis

No. Everybody has reassured themselves that it is best case scenario, 4 weeks, move on. What I'm saying is that we need to temper our optimism. I'm not so sure. We will find out fairly soon I hope. Just trying to let everybody down gently.

And my guess is that if we find out it is only a month, then you'll head off back to Redcafe with your tail between your legs

Conjecture indeed!
No way was that the correct mechanism of injury for an LCL injury anyway.
Still maintain he would not have walked off the pitch with a major ligament injury. Physio would not have allowed it.

Fingers and all else crossed.

I think there is a crumb of comfort there. Normally with ACL ruptures you hear a pop followed by immediate swelling. What has bothered me is that the scan has been delayed due to the amount of swelling. This suggests a haemarthrosis which you normally get with ACL tears.

Yeah. Me too. How often have you seen a postero lateral corner injury?

If there's one thing I cannot abide it's people who gratuitously use fancy words in order to demonstrate to a wider audience just how intelligent they are. It reeks of insecurity.

Well done on Googling ACL tears
 
Re: Sergio Aguero

Last few pages look like a script from fookin Casualty ;-) I'm no expert and haven't swallowed a medical journal but I know what I see and trained highly qualified medical personnel allowed him to walk off ! I'm thinking if there was any catastrophic tear or rupture he'd have been stretchered for sure.
