چکیده

The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most commonly injured ligament of the knee joint. Proximal MCL tears occur more frequently than do distal ones. We report a 28-year-old man with a valgus injury of his left knee joint after a fall from a motorcycle. Magnetic resonance imaging of the affected knee joint revealed complete avulsion of the superficial MCL from both its femoral and tibial insertions. The meniscofemoral portion of the deep part of the MCL was also torn and the medial meniscus was subluxated. Such a pattern, an MCL tear with subluxation of the medial meniscus, is rare.

INTRODUCTION The Segond injury corresponds to a marginal avulsion fracture of lateral tibial plateau, resultant from flexion traumas, stress in varus and internal rotation. The structure responsible for avulsion is the lateral collateral ligament, and anterior cruciate ligament and lateral meniscal injuries are also frequently present(1-4). Hall and Hochman(5) provided the first report of an in...

Avulsion of the Femoral Attachment of the Medial Collateral Ligament of the Knee Associated to Complete Tear of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament: A Case Report.

Medial collateral ligament (MCL) of the knee is one of the most commonly injured ligaments of the knee. Incidence of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries can vary widely. Conservative treatment has shown good clinical outcomes and relatively rapid return to play in both injuries alone. We present the case of a 38-year-old male who presented a combined MCL avulsion injury and PCL tear trea...

Radiographic identification of the primary medial knee structures.

BACKGROUND Radiographic landmarks for medial knee attachment sites during anatomic repairs or reconstructions are unknown. If identified, they could assist in the preoperative evaluation of structure location and allow for postoperative assessment of reconstruction tunnel placement. METHODS Radiopaque markers were implanted into the femoral and tibial attachments of the superficial medial col...
