Knee Ligament Injuries

Knee ligament injuries involve damage to the ligaments that support the knee joint, most commonly affecting the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the medial collateral ligament (MCL). These injuries often occur during sports or activities that involve sudden stops, direction changes, or impacts. Symptoms include pain, swelling, instability, and difficulty moving the knee. Diagnosis typically involves physical examinations and imaging tests like MRI. Treatment may range from rest and physical therapy to surgical intervention, depending on the severity of the injury. Proper rehabilitation is essential for restoring knee function and preventing future injuries.
