Anyone can do a copy and paste from a pubmed citation. But even from your own citation......

I literally do this for a living you fucking low rent squirrel.
90-95% IS accurate and the only gold standard above an MRI is to SCOPE it.
Now sit the fuck down and finish your juice box and the adults talk about this. God damn clown [Reply]
The reason for waiting for the swelling to go down is because two MRI's showed no tear of the ACL. Has nothing to do with swelling which as I said, does not conflate the MRI but instead gives contrast.
The reason for waiting is to test the structural integrity of the knee which the trainers have a battery of tests for.
If the PCL is torn, which could be, then he's out six months. Season is still over.
But from all accounts, it literally could be a bone bruise and he's back in 4-6 weeks. [Reply]
