Elbow medial collateral ligament injuries
Elbow medial collateral ligament sprain occurs when the elbow is subjected to a valgus force exceeding the tensile properties of the medial collateral ligament (MCL). This is an injury seen more often in throwing athletes. Understanding the differential diagnosis of medial elbow pain is paramount to diagnose MCL injury as well as addressing other medial elbow pathology. A natural evolution rega...
متن کاملExperimental rupture of the medial collateral ligament of the knee.
Severe injuries to the ligaments of the knee joint have recently begun to attract attention as a promising field for early reparative surgery. Palmer (1938) rationalised the diagnosis of these injuries and described the technique of surgical repair. Since then several further contributions, mostly from abroad, have supported early operation. In Britain, to judge from the literature, most surgeo...
متن کاملMorphology of the medial collateral ligament of the knee
BACKGROUND Quantitative knowledge on the anatomy of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) is important for treatment of MCL injury and for MCL release during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The objective of this study was to quantitatively determine the morphology of the MCL of human knees. METHODS 10 cadaveric human knees were dissected to investigate the MCL anatomy. The specimens were fixed ...
متن کاملTreatment of medial collateral ligament injuries.
The medial collateral ligament is the most frequently injured ligament of the knee. The anatomy and biomechanical role of this ligament and the associated posteromedial structures of the knee continue to be explored. Prophylactic knee bracing has shown promise in preventing injury to the medial collateral ligament, although perhaps at the cost of functional performance. Most isolated injuries a...
متن کاملThe epidemiology of medial collateral ligament sprains in young athletes.
BACKGROUND A medial collateral ligament (MCL) knee sprain is a prevalent injury in athletic populations that may result in significant time lost to injury. Remarkably little is known of the epidemiology of this injury. PURPOSE To define the incidence of MCL tears and to determine the demographic and athletic risk factors. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive epidemiological study. METHODS A longitudi...
