Clinically Relevant Anatomy[edit | edit source]

add text here The lateral collateral ligament is a strong connection between the femur and the head of the fibula, with the function to prevent the outer surface of the knee joint from opening or gapping. An injury to this specific ligament mostly occurs due to a direct impact to the inner surface of the knee. It is less common than an injury to the medial collateral ligament. The LCL is not connected with the lateral meniscus, so it is not automatically associated with a meniscal tear. However, the anterior cruciate or posterior cruciate ligaments may also become damaged. In this article you will find a description of observations from the knee.
