I tried to look up images related to the anterolateral ligament and could really only find actual surgery images....shiver. My coach seems to think it likely a meniscus injury but time will tell. I am walking a bit easier, but still wind up hopping downstairs and the knee just doesn't feel right. I do wonder about the actual patella and the two collateral ligaments. Hopefully I've simply bruised the inside patella lining and p'od my "runner's knee" and arthritis. At least, once this is done, we will know exactly what is wrong with my knee.
All in all, given what has happened, I consider myself to be quite lucky. The overall scale and scope of injuries could have been far worse given a full force face plant on concrete!
