Introduction to Knee Ligament Injuries The knee is a complex joint that relies on 4 main ligaments to provide stability and support. An injury to any one or combination of ligaments requires expert diagnosis and care. Understanding which ligaments are affected, along with the degree of injury, will determine the best treatment plan for recovery. Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) The Anterior Cruciate Ligament or ACL runs diagonally through the middle of the knee and controls rotation and forward movement of the tibia. Sudden stopping and twisting movement can cause the ACL to tear, making it one of the most common knee injuries - especially for athletes. Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) The Posterior Cruciate Ligament or PCL, is located in the back of the knee and controls backward movement of the tibia. A PCL tear is less common than an ACL tear, but it can occur as a result of knee trauma like falling onto a bent knee or landing improperly after a jump Medial Collateral LIgament (MCL) The Medial collateral ligament or (MCL) runs along the inside of the knee and helps to stabilize the joint. An MCL tear is often caused by a blow to the outside of the knee, and it can cause significant pain and discomfort. Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) The Lateral Collateral Ligament or (LCL) is on the outer side of your knee and helps to stabilize the outside of the joint. Due to knee structure, the LCL is very rarely injured on its own. More commonly, LCL injuries are seen as multiple ligament injuries like an ACL LCL Tear. Multiple ligament injuries involve two or more of the main knee ligaments and occur Multiple Ligament Injuries from significant knee trauma. This can include an injury like an ACL MCL rupture Or an ACL PCL Rupture. - All of which can seriously compromise joint stability. Grade of Tear Treatment will be determine by the grade of tear, with Grade 1 being a minor tear, Grade 2 a partial tear, and Grade 3 a complete tear or rupture of the ligament. Treatment options may include muscle-strengthening exercises, protective knee braces (for use Treatment Options during exercise), ice pack application (to reduce swelling), or for severe injuries - surgery . It is important to consult with your doctor or healthcare provider to determine the best course of action for your specific injury.
