Ligaments of the Knee Joint

Understanding the Stability & Strength of Your Knee

Introduction to Knee Ligaments

The knee joint is one of the most complex and crucial joints in the human body, allowing movement, flexibility, and stability. Ligaments are strong, fibrous tissues that connect bones and provide support to the knee. Any injury or tear in these ligaments can lead to instability, pain, and difficulty in movement.

Dr. Abhinav Mishra specializes in diagnosing and treating knee ligament injuries, offering both non-surgical and advanced surgical solutions for a quick and effective recovery.

Causes of Knee Ligament Injuries

  • Sports Activities:
  • Accidents & Falls:
  • Sudden Movements:
  • Weak Muscles & Poor Conditioning:

Types of Ligaments in the Knee

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL)
  • Function: Prevents the shinbone (tibia) from moving too far forward.
  • Common Injuries: ACL tears often occur due to sudden stops, pivoting, or sports-related trauma.
  • Treatment: Can be treated with physiotherapy, bracing, or ACL reconstruction surgery in severe cases.
Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL)
  • Function: Prevents the tibia from moving too far backward.
  • Common Injuries: PCL injuries usually result from direct blows to the knee, such as car accidents or sports collisions.
  • Treatment: Mild PCL injuries can heal with rest and rehabilitation, but severe cases may require surgical reconstruction.
Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL)
  • Function: Provides stability to the inner side of the knee.
  • Common Injuries: MCL injuries occur due to forceful blows to the outer knee, often seen in football or skiing.
  • Treatment: Most MCL injuries heal without surgery, requiring only bracing and physiotherapy.
Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL)
  • Function: Stabilizes the outer part of the knee.
  • Common Injuries: LCL injuries result from excessive stress on the inner knee, causing instability.
  • Treatment: Depending on the severity, treatment ranges from bracing and therapy to surgical repair.
