that is the kind of injury that is repaired as soon as swelling goes down. the pain in the knee is too great to just put in in a cast and see what happens. with 3 ligaments torn, his knee is very unstable, and in some ways just swinging free. keep in mind that "torn" does not mean completely severed. it means partially severed. rupture is the term used when the tendon is completely torn apart.
robert edwards RUPTURED all 4 tendons. he dang near lost his leg.
a LOT of rehab is needed for an elite athlete to return to being able to perform again.
i've ruptured the patella tendon on each knee. have had 2 arthroscopic clean-out procedures. can't wait for my next one.
