Review: Medial collateral ligament injuries [PDF]
The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is a major stabilizer of the knee joint. It is the most common ligament injured in the knee, particularly in athletes, and has been reported to be torn in 7.9% of all knee injuries.2 The MCL has a complex, layered anatomy with multiple insertions and functions.

Spectrum of injuries associated with paediatric ACL tears: an MRI pictorial review [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury are well known, but most published reviews show obvious examples of associated injuries and give little focus to paediatric patients. Here, we demonstrate the

Anatomic Fibular Collateral Ligament Reconstruction [PDF]
Fibular collateral ligament (FCL) injuries can lead to varus instability of the knee, causing a varus thrust gait and resulting in increased forces on the medial compartment of the knee. In the long term, this can result in meniscal injuries and medial compartment osteoarthritis.
