The ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) and MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament) are important stabilizing ligaments of the knee. Injuries to these ligaments commonly occur during sports, sudden twisting movements, or accidents.
Symptoms often include knee pain, swelling, instability, difficulty walking, and a feeling that the knee may 'give way.' Without proper treatment, these injuries can affect mobility and increase the risk of future knee damage.
Treatment depends on the severity of the injury and may include physiotherapy, bracing, or arthroscopic ligament reconstruction surgery. Early intervention helps restore knee stability and improves long-term outcomes.
