What Causes Squishy, Unstable Knee After Treatment For Torn MC1 And Arthrofibrosis?

Hi 4 months ago I hurt my knee. I had an MRI and it said I tore my MCl and had arthrofibrosis. My knee has gotten a lot better and my doctor thinks im on the right track and isnt doing anything else. I think theres something else wrong. My knee feels squishy and unstable. It buckles when i try and walk fast. I m not comfortable with returning back to sports with fear of hurting it again. What should I do?

Hi
If you have MRI scan report , kindly write the impression written at the end of report or send scanned report to this forum or my email yyyyyyyyyyy@yyyyyyy.yyy
If you buckle during walk, means cruciate ligaments and or meniscal injury may have occurred.
You have a. Choice to show to an arthroscopic knee surgeon who can visualise the extent of damage by arthroscope and one who is expert in preparing ligaments and meniscal injury in same sitting
Or else ,open surgery after Arthroscope if extensive lesions are there
Wear a knee brace long one till you reach the arthroscopic surgeon for evaluation and avoid walking without knee support.
Best wishes
