Fourteen of the cases were seen less than 1 week after injury, the acute period. The emergency room examination was difficult due to pain and spasm, and under anesthesia examination revealed laxity of a greater degree than was present on initial examination. Six of these 14 patients did not have an effusion. All 19 patients had positive stress views of lateral anxiety showing 5 mm or greater lateral opening.
