knee injury

i have torn two ligaments in my knee and will need surgery.My consultant said it is very unusual as i was not involved in football skiing.I was dancing moderately.I was in a car crash a year ago and got severe whiplash.My question is would the crash have weakened the knee area.

Hello!

You can have knee injuries which might be mild Grade I during the car crash and it might have progressed to Grade II or Grade III with dancing, weight bearing, physical activity this can be a reason for chronic ligament problems in knee joint. Try conservative treatment initially and if it fails you can go for arthroscopic surgery.

Take care!
