Torn ligament
My brother is an active man, 35 years old. Exercises regularly. He was kicking a ball one day when he experienced a sharp pain in his knee joint.Now he finds it difficult to squat. I attach his email and hope to get some advice on treatment.
I had a small accident 2 weeks ago - here are the details.
