Dr. Ramos & Zach Bye Discuss Anthony Edwards hyperextended left knee in game 4 | Injury Insights
“Alright Dr. Ramos early in Game 4, Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards comes down from about 40 inches in the air and hyperextends his left knee. What did your eyes tell you about this injury?”
Dr. Joe Ramos breaks down the mechanics and likely damage: the knee is a hinge joint that shouldn’t bend the opposite way, and the hyperextension — combined with an apparent bone bruise — suggests stretching of the ACL/PCL and possible meniscus involvement. Dr. Ramos explains what those findings mean, the symptoms to watch for, and why the initial recovery window is likely around 3–4 weeks.
