WHAT IS LATERAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENT INJURY?
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF LATERAL LIGAMENT INJURY?
The most common symptom is pain around the outside of the knee, alongside bruising and swelling. The knee joint will also feel tender, and the pain will be considerably worse when bending or using the knee.

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF LATERAL COLLATERAL LIGAMENT INJURY?
WHAT IS THE TREATMENT FOR MEDICAL LATERAL LIGAMENT INJURY?
The initial treatment recommended involves RICE therapy – Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Once 72 hours have passed, the patient can move into the rehabilitation stage which includes gentle exercise and gentle stress to ligaments which will in turn allow the scar tissue to form in a uniform way that promotes healing and full repair. The exercises you will be prescribed will start with moving the knee in a structured straight line before moving into more fluid motions. Heat treatment may also be recommended further down the recovery line to promote healing.
