Knee Injury

Question

Knee Injury

Asked for Female, 18 Years

11 months ago I tore my acl and meniscus playing soccer and had surgery 10 months ago. When we went in for surgery my doctor fixed my meniscus and left my acl because it was still partially attached. Well last week I was playing soccer in my acl sports brace and my knee buckled. It swelled up but I have been able to put weight on it since it happened. The swelling has gone down some, not completely, but I am still in a lot of pain. Could I have torn my acl the rest of the way?
