Medial Collateral Ligament Injury
2021The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is one of the most commonly injured knee ligaments. Most MCL injuries can be managed conservatively, but some require surgical intervention. A thorough history and a solid physical exam, combined with imaging, can help determine the best course of treatment.

Treatment of Medial Collateral Ligament Injuries
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2009The medial collateral ligament is the most frequently injured ligament of the knee. The anatomy and biomechanical role of this ligament and the associated posteromedial structures of the knee continue to be explored. Prophylactic knee bracing has shown promise in preventing injury to the medial collateral ligament, although perhaps at the cost of ...

Management of Medial Collateral Ligament Laxity
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1994Assessment of axial alignment with 3-foot radiographs and valgus-varus stress radiographs is important when managing symptomatic MCL instability. Realignment of the anatomical axis to 0 degrees to reduce the stress on the MCL reduces the symptomatic laxity.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Medial Collateral Ligament Injuries
Journal of Knee Surgery, 2014The diagnosis and treatment of combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries have evolved over the past 30 years. A detailed physical examination along with careful review of the magnetic resonance imaging and stress radiographs will guide decision making.

Medial collateral ligament healing
The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 1983Medial collateral ligament healing without treatment has been studied in a rabbit model. Complete midsubstance gaps were found to heal by distinct scar formation over time. This healing process was fast since the gap was bridged quickly; however, more subtle changes in ap pearance of the healing tissue continued for many months.

A Material Characterization of Human Medial Collateral Ligament
Advances in Bioengineering, 1997Abstract Despite the vast amount of research on mechanical properties of the knee ligaments, the material properties of human medial collateral ligament (MCL) have never been characterized. The material properties of knee ligaments have only been determined in the longitudinal direction of the ligament. The transverse properties are also

Late Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction
Techniques in Knee Surgery, 2007ABSTRACTThe medial collateral ligament (MCL) of the knee is unique in that it has shown the capacity to heal with conservative measures. However, specific surgical indications do exist when treating MCL injuries.

Medial Collateral Ligament Injuries in Athletes
Sports Medicine, 1996Medial collateral ligament (MCL) sprains are tension injuries to the medial ligamentous structures of the knee. They are usually the result of an acute blow to the lateral aspect of the knee. The diagnosis can usually be made on the basis of a characteristic clinical examination. The treatment of these injuries has evolved over several years.

Knee Medial Collateral Ligament Injuries
2015The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is a common site of injury in sports and so it is very important to have great knowledge of all the parts involved for prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. MCL injury is more common in sports that require contact and male athletes are at greater risk [1, 2].
