Medial Collateral Ligament Injury of the Knee
The Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) is one of the key stabilisers of your knee. Running along the inside of the joint, it prevents the knee from collapsing inwards during movement. Because of its role, the MCL is commonly injured in sports and activities that involve twisting, sudden changes in direction, or direct impact.
