1 year agoFati just had a meniscus tear I believe, Gavi has a full ACL tear and meniscus injury (which is common with an ACL injury).
ACL injuries are generally considered worse: longer recovery, usually need surgery, often aren’t stable after surgery, but are less likely to lead to arthritis.
A fully torn ACL cannot heal at all, it has to be replaced. The stability of the graft depends on how the injury is managed for the first year to strengthen it.
