Hi.

The impact could have caused an injury to any of your ligaments in the knee which will require a few physical maneuvers to be conducted by a doctor and possibly even an MRI of the knee. There will also be a requirement of an xray of the region to make sure all the bones in the region are all well.

Best wishes.
