Our expert orthopedic team offers personalized treatments, from advanced diagnostics to rehabilitation, ensuring a faster and safer recovery.

Understanding Knee Ligament Injuries

The knee joint is stabilized by four main ligaments:

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) – Prevents the shin bone from sliding forward.

• Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) – Prevents the shin bone from sliding backward.

• Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) – Provides stability to the inner side of the knee.

• Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) – Provides stability to the outer side of the knee.

Injury to any of these ligaments can lead to pain, swelling, instability, and limited mobility.

Common Causes of Ligament Injuries

• Sudden twists or turns during sports

• Accidental falls or road injuries

• Direct impact or trauma to the knee

• Overstretching or hyperextension of the knee

• Weak muscles or previous knee injuries

• Sudden pain and swelling around the knee
