But he didn't seem to be in much pain even when it happened. Got dragged down in a contest, free kick, got up but couldn't put much weight on leg. Walked off to bench, 5 mins later walked to rooms with no limp. Bit of a jar / strain im tipping. Fingers crossed
You can walk normally with a deficient PCL and ACL - a full tear will be painful at first, but will subside. A partial tear will also be initially painful but shouldn’t be painful to walk as they won’t be stressed during normal gait.

He doesn’t seem to be avoiding full knee extension, which would be indicative of a partial tear to MCL/LCL. Shouldn’t be pain if there was a full tear, as there would be no fibres on stretch to cause pain, but he’s walking amazingly well for a full tear.

If there was a whopping meniscus tear, I’d expect him to look a lot more “proppy” in that footage, but no guarantee as you only truly test it with a pivoting movement.

Without seeing the mech, you could jump to conclusions about a cruciate ligament, or potentially a milder meniscus injury. If I was to extrapolate from the information at hand, then you could look at the lengthy duration spent in the rooms as proof either way. You could say that the long duration was due to the weight of the situation (i.e ACL) or could be because diagnosis was a little trickier (i.e mild meniscus).

But I’m just guessing from here.
Anything you can gather from the above post, Strahany ?

According to SS he can walk in a straight line but any lateral movement & his knee collapses which is consistent with an ACL.

Thoughts Strahany ?
When did he make lateral movements after coming from the ground?

Could also indicate a big MCL/LCL tear, or a painful meniscus (less likely).

But not a good sign, admittedly
