Weak legs, muscle atrophy after a motorbike accident but without treatment, is there a chance to cure?

Ask
Hello doctor! I am 25 years old this year, I was previously in a motorbike accident and my knee was swollen due to a torn ligament. I didn't know it would leave me with a disability, so I didn't put a cast on and let it go on its own. Now I find that my legs are very weak and my legs are not normal, my legs are low, my legs are high, I even see muscle atrophy. So the doctor asked me: "Weak legs and muscle atrophy after a motorbike accident but without treatment, is there a chance to cure it?" and I've had it for about 3 or 4 years now. Thanks for the advice doctor!

Hello! With the question: "Weak legs, muscle atrophy after a motorbike accident but without treatment, is there a chance to cure?" The doctor would like to answer as follows:
In this case, you should have an MRI of the knee joint and visit an orthopedic specialist to be examined and find out the cause of the above symptoms. From the results of MRI of the knee joint, doctors can assess the ligament, bone, meniscal system... and the extent of the damage and offer the most effective treatment plan.
You can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System to be consulted, examined and given an effective treatment regimen by experienced doctors.
