Personally, gorilla tape has always done a great job of holding everything together for me! Well, not so much inside my body, just my truck and around the house! 
If only we had an actual Doctor that could fill us in on these things.....................gotta be one somewhere, and he/she isn't the one actually working on Big Sam, then they probably are speculating just like everybody else.Probably doesn't make any difference as to whether the ligament tear was near/at it's attachment to bone or whether it tore in the middle. Now if the ligament stayed intact and the bony attachment avulsed from the adjacent bone, that is a different story (better).

I'm gonna go with the old tried and true method, wait and see what happens and deal with it best I can. But I realize it's a message board and people want to yak about it, so keep having at it!
I probably was around, but didn't recall it. Probably won't remember a week from now either. I know some have come on here and stated they are actual Doctor's. That said, I wasn't getting on his case, hope it didn't come off that way, just replied to his message, when it could have been many others.You must not have been around when Jackhawk87 first started posting. He originally had JackhawkMD87 as his handle IIRC. He ditched the MD when i started asking for free medical advice........sheeeeesh.........
