Anatomic Medial Collateral Ligament, Posterior Oblique Ligament, and Double-Bundle Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstructions With Concomitant Distal Femoral Osteotomy in the Setting of a Chronic Injury [PDF]
The medial collateral ligament provides stability against valgus stress applied to the knee. Medial knee ligament injuries often occur concomitantly with posterior cruciate ligament injuries and may be aggravated by valgus malalignment.

Diagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in the Evaluation of the Knee Lateral Collateral Ligament [PDF]
The lateral collateral ligament in the knee provides static restraint against varus-directed stress. Lateral collateral ligament injuries are much less common than those of the anterior cruciate or medial collateral ligament.

Medial collateral ligament release during knee arthroscopy: key concepts [PDF]
Complete access to the posterior medial compartment of the knee may represent a technical challenge during arthroscopy in patients with a tight tibiofemoral joint space. Medial collateral release reduces direct iatrogenic cartilage damage in the medial compartment of the knee through manipulation with instruments.

Percutaneous Arthroscopic Assisted Knee Medial Collateral Ligament Repair [PDF]
Medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries are commonly encountered alongside anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Treatment modalities have ranged from conservative management to surgical repair, augmentation, and reconstruction. Various reports have reported residual valgus instability, especially in higher-grade injuries that have been treated ...
