  2. Medial knee injuries - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_knee_injuries

    superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL), also called the medial collateral ligament (MCL) or tibial collateral ligament; deep medial collateral ligament (dMCL), or mid-third medial capsular ligament; posterior oblique ligament (POL), or oblique fibers of the sMCL; This complex is the major stabilizer of the medial knee.

  3. Medial collateral ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_collateral_ligament

    The medial collateral ligament (MCL), also called the superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) or tibial collateral ligament (TCL), [1] is one of the major ligaments of the knee. It is on the medial (inner) side of the knee joint and occurs in humans and other primates. Its primary function is to resist valgus (inward bending) forces on ...

  4. Medial meniscus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_meniscus

    Acute injury to the medial meniscus frequently accompanies an injury to the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) or MCL (medial collateral ligament). A person occasionally injures the medial meniscus without harming the ligaments. Healing of the medial meniscus is generally not possible unless the patient is very young, usually <15 years old.

  5. Knee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee

    The medial collateral ligament (MCL a.k.a. "tibial") stretches from the medial epicondyle of the femur to the medial tibial condyle. It is composed of three groups of fibers, one stretching between the two bones, and two fused with the medial meniscus. The MCL is partly covered by the pes anserinus and the tendon of the semimembranosus passes ...

    The unhappy triad, also known as a blown knee among other names, is an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament, and meniscus.Analysis during the 1990s indicated that this 'classic' O'Donoghue triad is actually an unusual clinical entity among athletes with knee injuries.

  7. Bucket handle tear - Wikipedia

    Meniscal repair: Preferred for young patients or those with tears in the vascular (red-red) zone, which has healing potential. Arthroscopic sutures are used to repair the torn meniscus. Partial meniscectomy : [ 7 ] If the tear is in a non-repairable location (white-white zone) or the meniscal tissue is extensively damaged, the displaced ...

  8. Fibular collateral ligament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibular_collateral_ligament

    It is rounded, and is more narrow and less broad compared to the medial collateral ligament. It extends obliquely inferoposteriorly from its superior attachment to its inferior attachment. [1] [verification needed] In contrast to the medial collateral ligament, it is not fused with either the capsular ligament nor the lateral meniscus. [3]

  9. Meniscal cartilage replacement therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meniscal_cartilage...

    The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of fibrocartilage located at the peripheral aspect of the knee joint that offers lubrication and nutrition to the joint. Each knee has two menisci, medial and lateral, whose purpose is to provide space between the tibia and the femur, preventing friction and allowing for the diffusion of articular cartilage.
