[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 26100, member: 1963"] Just to clarify; an avulsion fracture is what happens when a bit of ligament or cartilage tears away and takes a bit of the bone it was attached to with it. Your sx are pretty consistent with a tear of the meniscus cartilage in the knee. These days it can be fixed neatly with an arthroscope and the surgery doesn't take long to recover from. Ignoring it for ages can lead to a nasty case of arthritis. hth toK [/QUOTE]
