There is no fixed amount of time it will take to have your braces removed. One thing you can be sure of though, is that it will be much quicker than when you had them attached. Expect to be in there for around an hour for all the braces to be taken off and all the follow-up work to be done.
Twisting the knee is a common cause of overstretched or torn ligaments of the knee. The knee may give out suddenly when the ACL is torn and there may be a popping sound upon injury. Symptoms of a torn ACL include knee pain, swelling, stiffness, and bruising.
The sprain will occur in one or more of the knee ligaments. A Medial ligament sprain will cause pain on the inside of the knee and is usually a result of an impact on the outside of the knee. Lateral ligament sprain sprain will result in pain on the outside of the knee joint and is often caused by an impact on the inside of the knee. The cruciate ligaments cross over in the middle of the knee and provide forwards and backwards stability.
