Injuries to the ligaments of the knee — especially the ACL, PCL, MCL, and LCL — are common among athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and individuals involved in high-impact activities. If left untreated, these injuries can cause instability, persistent pain, and long-term joint damage.
Dr. Karnav Panchal, a leading orthopedic surgeon in Ahmedabad, offers advanced, minimally invasive treatments for knee ligament injuries using the latest arthroscopic techniques and patient-specific rehabilitation programs.
The knee is stabilized by four key ligaments:
Most commonly injured ligament in sports.
Provides forward stability to the knee.
Injuries often occur during twisting or sudden stops.
Prevents the shinbone from moving backward.
Usually injured in car accidents or falls on a bent knee.
Runs along the inside of the knee.
Injured by a direct blow to the outside of the knee.
Stabilizes the outer side of the knee.
Often injured during impact or overextension.
You may have a ligament injury if you experience:
A popping sound at the time of injury
Immediate pain and swelling
Instability or feeling the knee may “give out”
