Collateral Ligament Injuries - Expert Treatment at Dr. Srivanth's Orthopedic Clinic (Chikkadpally, Hyderabad & Nearby Areas)
Collateral ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect the bones of your knee joint, providing stability and preventing excessive side-to-side movement. However, these ligaments can be sprained or torn due to sudden twists, falls, or direct blows to the knee.

Types of Collateral Ligament Injuries:
- Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) Injury: The MCL is located on the inner side of the knee joint and prevents excessive inward movement. MCL injuries are more common than lateral collateral ligament (LCL) injuries.
- Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL) Injury: The LCL is located on the outer side of the knee joint and prevents excessive outward movement.
Symptoms of Collateral Ligament Injuries:
- Pain on the inner (MCL) or outer (LCL) side of the knee
- Swelling and inflammation
- Difficulty bending or straightening the knee
- Feeling of instability in the knee joint
Treatment for Collateral Ligament Injuries:
Treatment for collateral ligament injuries depends on the severity of the sprain or tear. In most cases, non-surgical treatment options are effective, including:
- Rest: Limiting activities that cause pain and inflammation.
- Ice Therapy: Applying ice packs to the injured area to reduce swelling and pain.
- Compression: Wearing a compression bandage to support the knee joint.
- Elevation: Elevating the injured leg above the heart to reduce swelling.
- Physical Therapy: Exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the knee joint.
- Bracing: Wearing a knee brace to provide support and stability during the healing process.
Surgical Intervention:
In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to repair a completely torn collateral ligament. Dr. Srivanth is a skilled surgeon experienced in arthroscopic techniques for minimally invasive ligament repair.
