There are four important ligaments in the knee joint, one in the front and back called Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACM) and Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCM). The side supporting ligaments are Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) located on the inside and Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) on the outside. The most common injuries are ACL injuries due to twisting, while playing sports like football, badminton etc. or due to road accidents. To prevent ligament injuries during sporting activities, it is important to start with adequate warm-ups to heat the muscles, wear the adequate and appropriate protective gear, wear the right footwear and also cool down after playing by doing some stretching exercises. It is important to scale the activity level gradually to minimize occurrence injuries. The MCL injuries usually occur when there is a blow to the inside of the knee. These can be tackled without surgery. There are 3 grades of MCL injuries. Most of the first and second grade injuries can be treated by non-operative management like using braces for about six weeks. It is also important to carry out RICE treatment: Rest, Icing, Compression and Elevation, which is a common treatment for all ligament injuries. Certain kinds of MCL injuries, such as grade 3 injury in a sportsperson, and multi-ligament injuries may require surgical intervention.
