As suspected, the ACL was confirmed to be totally obliterated. Looking closely at the photo, you'll notice that blobby mess between the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (lower leg bone) where they connect. That sea of blob is what's left of my ACL; it's merely strands of torn collagen. In a healthy knee, you'd have a clear picture of both bones which is connected by a black line, which would represent an intact ACL.The positive thing about this MRI is that the other major ligaments like the MCL, PCL, and LCL were fine; no damage whatsoever. Pfew!
