Ligament injury: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment foot and ankle specialist Colts Neck NJ SuperUser Account / Tuesday, December 14, 2021 0 441 Article rating: No rating What is a ligament injury? A ligament is a band of tough, flexible fibrous connective tissue which connects two bones or cartilages, or holds a joint together. When overstretched, tearing can occur in the ligaments. One of the most commonly affected joints for torn ligaments is the knee, and there are three types of ligaments around the knee which may be injured. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the major stabilizing ligaments in the knee. It is a strong rope-like structure located in the centre of the knee, running from the femur to the tibia. When this ligament tears unfortunately it doesn’t heal and often leads to the feeling of instability in the knee. The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), situated in the back of the knee, is another ligament that connects the femur to the tibia. The PCL’s job is to keep the tibia from moving backwards too far. Collateral ligaments are located at the sides of the knee, with the medial (inside) collateral ligament (MCL) connecting the femur to the tibia while the lateral (outside) collateral ligament (LCL) connects the femur to the fibula. These ligaments control the sideways movement of the knee joint. Read more
Ligament Sprain Foot doctors SuperUser Account / Monday, December 6, 2021 0 580 Article rating: No rating Introduction A sprain is an injury to the band of collagen tissue i.e. a ligament, which connects two or more bones to a joint. The primary function of a ligament is to provide passive stabilisation of a joint and it plays an important role in proprioceptive function.[1] A sprain is usually caused by the joint being forced suddenly outside its usual range of movement and the inelastic fibres are stretched through too great a range. For example, excessive inversion of the ankle can cause the lateral ankle ligaments, primarily the anterior talofibular ligament, to rupture. A severe sprain may look and feel like a break (fracture), and it can be difficult for health professionals to tell the difference between the two.[2] A ligament rupture can occur at the midsubstance of the ligament or at the ligament-bone junction.[1] Sometimes an avulsion fracture also occurs (the ligament pulls a piece of bone with it on injury). The image shows an example of a sprain of the ankle. Read more
