Medial Collateral Knee Ligament Sprain With Phase II Rehab The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is a tough band of tissue that connects the thighbone to the shinbone. Your MCL is located on the outside of your knee. It prevents your knee from moving too far inward and helps keep your knee stable. A MCL sprain is an injury caused by stretching the MCL too far.

Valgus force is apparent when the human foot is involuntarily forced towards the outer part of the body in relation to the athlete’s knee. CAUSES A medial collateral ligament sprain is caused when a force voluntary

Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) (Elbow) Tear The Ulnar collateral ligament that will be discussed is the ligament in the inner part of the elbow that connects your Humerus to your Ulna, its purpose is to help support and stabilize the arm ( ). An Ulnar Collateral Ligament (UCL) tear occurs when that ligament that connects the Humerus to the Ulna is put under repetitive stress or trauma that causes the ligament to tear. Movements that can put stress on this ligament are actions such

On February 28th, 2017 when the Golden State Warriors’ were playing the Washington Wizards Kevin Durant suffered a hyperextended left knee. His MRI showed that he had a Grade 2 sprain to his medial collateral ligament (MCL) and a tibial bone bruise (Amick). Durant’s injury happened during a rebound when one of his own teammates got pushed back into him and made his knee hyperextend. This type of injury would be classified as acute. I say this is an acute injury because Durant did not get this injury

MCL Injury When it comes to your ability to move around, participate in sports, and simply walk, your knee joints are vital. The knee itself is made up of multiple ligaments, bones, and tendons and of all of these different parts that need to work together to make the joint work.

An injury or tear to the MCL is common especially among athletes. The MCL injury can cause pain, tenderness, and swelling which will limit the range of movement of the knee which effects the simplest of daily routines. Bruising may also occur on the inside of the knee area. Configuring the cost for treatment for MCL injuries has numerous

Anterior lower leg pain known as shin splints is a chronic injury that can occur as result of increased activity. Brown (2016), believes that “the medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) also known as shin splints or medial tibial traction periostitis is a common and often debilitating overuse injury of the lower leg associated with running and walking activities.” Very strong, growing musculature of the lower leg can become taut and

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is located inferior (underneath) to the Femur and superior (above) to the Tibia. The ACL allows range of motion the Tibia. An ACL Sprain may happen when a person rapidly changes direction. Once it is torn, it is not able to heal on it’s own. A sudden changing of direction may cause an ACL Sprain. Example: Roda walking with her skis on and caused her to slip, which caused her to change the direction of her right leg very suddenly and falling and landing on the

Introduction: Flexion contracture (FC) is a commonly encountered deformity in patient undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Hemophilic arthropathy of the knee joint is the most common joint involvement in patients with hemophilia which often leads to FC. Clinical course of FC after replacement of an osteoarthritic knee is well reported in the literature. However, to our experience in a high volume referral center, the course may be different in patients with hemophilic arthropathy. Objectives:
