Andrew had an accident at school two weeks ago. He blew out his knee and was taken by ambulance to the ER. The only thing they could tell for sure last week was that the knee cap was dislocated. He had way too much fluid and pain in the knee for them to do any type of manipulating tests. (X-rays showed no broken bones) Today was his 2 week follow up. The swelling was down enough to do some flexability tests, which were not good. (his knee was way too loose) that along with the amount of pain and fluid still in his knee, has the doc worried about a complete tear of the MCL and possibly ACL both.
He wants to do an MRI on Andrew's knee however he said he wasn't sure Andrew could have an MRI with the ICD implanted. He was going to talk to the MRI poeple tomorrow and let me know.
Any of you ICD patients have any knowledge about doing an MRI on a ICD patient?
Thanks
