چکیده
We report a case of isolated rupture of the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) of the knee while attempting to place the left foot behind the head during yoga practice. The 34-year-old man had discomfort of the lateral aspect of the knee particularly with varus strain. A magnetic resonance image revealed rupture of the LCL at the insertion onto the fibula. The patient had grade-II laxity of the LCL and was treated non-operatively. At the 12-month follow-up, grade-I laxity of the LCL remained clinically evident, but function was not impaired.
