    It largely depends on the injury which could only be fully diagnosed with a full history of the exact way the injury happened and a clinical exam of the knee joint to check for any ligament/tendon/meniscus injury unfortunately.

    A rule of thumb in medicine is if the patient can weightbear/walk, the injury is unlikely to be serious.
