Collateral Ligament

Collateral Ligament

Collateral Ligaments are fibrous bands of connective tissue that provide stability to joints, primarily the knee and elbow. There are two types of collateral ligaments in these joints: medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL). These ligaments run along the sides of the joint, connecting the bones and preventing excessive sideways or rotational movements. The MCL is located on the inner side of the knee, connecting the femur to the tibia, while the LCL is on the outer side, linking the femur to the fibula. In the elbow, these ligaments are crucial for stabilizing the joint during flexion and extension. Injuries to collateral ligaments often result from traumatic events, such as sports-related impacts or sudden twists. Treatment may range from conservative measures, including rest, physical therapy, and bracing, to surgical interventions in severe cases. Understanding collateral ligaments is essential in orthopaedics, particularly in the diagnosis and management of joint injuries. Rehabilitation and proper care are crucial for restoring joint stability and function after collateral ligament injuries.
