| | Medial Collateral Ligament Tear or Sprain |
 | | To prevent MCL injury, it is important that the muscles around the knee be in top condition. | | | MCL injury is just like any other soft tissue injury and should be treated accordingly. | | | Although it is important to be able to treat MCL injury, prevention should be your first priority. |

| | MCL injuries may also occur in conjunction with injuries to other ligaments of the knee, such as an lateral collateral ligament (LCL) injury, a anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury or a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury. | | | By addressing the root of the problem, as natural medicine therapies like Prolotherapy do, medial collateral ligament injury pain can be alleviated permanently. | | | Discover why we believe that natural medicine treatments are the best way to treat a medial collateral ligament injury. |

| | The Physician and Sportsmedicine: Collateral Ligament Tears |
| | Tenderness at the medial femoral epicondyle often signifies an avulsion injury of the MCL's origin; tenderness at the proximal medial tibia suggests an injury at its insertion. | | | When an isolated collateral ligament injury is confirmed, the physician's close involvement in the patient's rehabilitation program complements the ligament's natural healing abilities. | | | Assessing the quality of the injured ligament's end point during the physical exam is critical--a soft end point indicates a probable grade 3 MCL or LCL tear. |

| | The objective of this study was to examine the effect of surgical repair of the medial collateral ligament on its biomechanical and biochemical properties 52 weeks after such injuries. | | | The optimal treatment for concurrent injuries to the medial collateral and anterior cruciate ligaments has not been determined, despite numerous clinical and laboratory studies. | | | Our data support clinical findings that when the medial collateral and anterior cruciate ligaments are injured concurrently and the anterior cruciate ligament is reconstructed, conservative treatments of the ruptured medial collateral ligament can result in successful healing. |

| | Medial Collateral Ligament Injury |
| | Other mechanisms that can cause an MCL tear include severe trauma such as in a motor vehicle accident and work injuries in which the shin bone rotates outward and the thigh bone is pushed inward while the shin bone is fixed on the ground (valgus stress on the knee joint). | | | Following an MCL injury the primary goal is to reduce the swelling and inflammation and provide relief for the pain. | | | Initially the physiotherapist will place an emphasis on the control of swelling, inflammation and pain. |

| | Medial Collateral Ligament Sprain -- Part I |
| | The principle test for MCL sprain is the valgus stress test with the knee flexed 30 degrees, because at 30 degrees the cruciates and posterior capsular ligaments are more relaxed. | | | This ligament lies slightly posterior to the joint line which is important to know if you use friction massage. | | | In the acute stage the best way to test the MCL is with the patient lying supine with his thigh resting on the table. |

| | Collateral Ligament |
| | This is typical in an effective tackle aimed at the knee joint where the force is applied from the lateral aspect and forcing the medial aspect of the knee to bend and open past the normal range of the medial collateral ligament resulting in a sprain of the ligament and resultant limited movement and pain. | | | This strapping is aimed at producing a slightly mechanical support for the medial collateral ligament where there has been a force applied spraining the ligament. | | | There are several methods of strapping the knee from being further injured or to support the knee through psychological or Proprioceptive measures so no one single strapping technique is correct and varieties are seen and experienced by both player and trainer alike. |

| | Most sprains of the collateral ligaments will heal if the patient follows a prescribed exercise program. | | | A thorough examination is essential to determine the nature and extent of injury. | | | In addition to exercise, the doctor may recommend that the patient apply ice packs to reduce pain and swelling and wear a small sleeve-type brace to protect and stabilize the knee. |

| | Mild sprains heal rapidly and may involve the medial collateral ligament (MCL). | | | The more significant season-ending injuries are those that involve the MCL and/or the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). | | | The study certainly supports this concern as the most common injury is to the knee (about 30-35% of all injuries reported). |

| | You should speak to your physician or make an appointment to be seen if you have questions or concerns about this information or your medical condition. | | | With proper care and rehabilitation, most people recover from an injured medial collateral ligament in 2 to 6 weeks. | | | However, you may be able to avoid these injuries by having strong thigh and hamstring muscles, as well as by gently stretching your legs before and after exercising. |

| | Torn medial collateral ligament - Maryland General Hospital |
| | A torn (MCL), is an injury to the medial collateral ligament. | | | This ligament extends from the upper-inside surface of the tibia to the bottom-inside surface of the femur. | | | The ligament prevents the knee joint from medial instability, that is, instability in the inside of the joint. |

| | Medial Collateral Ligament Injury |
| | The understanding of the physiology and biomechanics has taught us that the healing response of the intrarticular ligaments is different from the extrarticular ones, these differences have been attributed to local environment, sources of nutrition, the functions of the ligament or intrinsic mechanical properties. | | | The medial collateral ligament (MCL) follows the same phases as any other soft tissue: | | | Ligamentous injuries to the knee account 25 to 40% of all knee injuries. |

| | Knee - Medial & Lateral Collateral ligament tear |
| | Sometimes, an MCL tear is associated with a tear of the ACL and a meniscus tear - this is known as the "unhappy triad". | | | Usually, the mechanism of injury is a blow to the outside of the knee, while the foot is planted firmly on the ground. | | | The good news, however, is that it often can heal on it's own, if properly protected with a hinged knee brace. |

| | In fact, 60 percent of serious knee ligament injuries involve this ligament in some way. | | | When this ligament is torn, there is often injury to the peroneal nerve, which lies next to it. | | | injury to this ligament is quite unusual in mechanism: sprained ligaments, tears of knee cartilages, fractures of the bone joints, wear and tear on the kneecap and the muscle tendons, and contusion and tears of the quad muscles. |
