MEDIAL & LATERAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENTS ( Anatomy & Biomechanics# applied)

Detailed discussion on anatomy and biomechanics of medial collateral and lateral collateral ligaments of knee complex.Medial collateral ligament origins from medial femoral epicondyle and is inserted into tibia.Its made of two portions namely the superficial and deep medial collateral ligaments.The medial collateral ligament is also known as tibial collateral ligament.
The lateral collateral ligament also known as fibular collateral ligament and arise from lateral femoral condlye and inserts into fibula.
MCL provides primary restraint to valgus and LCL to varus stress.
The anatomy,biomechanics of ligaments along with their action and a brief description of injuries and treatments are mentioned.
