My husband had a ligament tear and the blood spread inside the knee. What are the repercussions?
Thanks for your question. You mentioned your husband had ligament tear with blood in the knee. The repercussions are that the knee may continue to stay swollen and painful. I would recommend that you see an Orthopedic Surgeon and a knee specialist who can take care of him and surgically repair the ligament soon. Hope this helps. Dr. Sathe READ MORE
