If the knee joint is pushed into an increased X-leg position by a direct trauma, this results in an injury to the medial collateral ligament complex. Depending on the extent of the force exerted on the knee joint, the ligament may be overstretched, torn or completely torn off. I also frequently see a torn medial collateral ligament in severe rotational injuries in combination with cruciate ligament tears. As parts of the medial ligament are firmly attached to the base of the medial meniscus, meniscus injuries also occur more frequently.     <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2f162f4 animated-slow elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default elementor-invisible\" data-eae-slider=\"65758\" data-id=\"2f162f4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c29bd56\" data-eae-slider=\"45851\" data-id=\"c29bd56\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a457f5d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a457f5d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Structure of the inner ligament<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-663f0a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"663f0a7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The inner and outer collateral ligament complexes <strong>stabilize the knee joint against lateral movements<\/strong>.
