Chao nailed it again. And yet you will find people here that call him a quack because a) "he diagnoses via video" and b) because of his legal troubles in the past. I agree that you don't want him to be your doctor but at the same time it's idiotic to dismiss all his experience and great track record in giving a quick projected diagnosis because of those things.
Yes, he did. Right from the beginning he pointed out the real problem, which is that the knee/ACL are unstable. So regardless of the MRI, that is going to be a serious problem that can only be corrected with surgery. My guess is that the MRI revealed minor damage to the ACL, but they were unable to tell if the damage had increased from before or not, so the story became that the ACL wasn't torn to shreds or significantly more damaged than before. The actual words were something along the lines of: his knee is structurally the same now as it was this morning. That seemed like he was out of the woods, but when you think about the whole situation, it makes sense now.
