The Medial Collateral Ligament is the knee ligament that is located on the inner side of the knee joint. It links the thigh bone and the shin bone. A knee ligament injury is referred to as a sprain, and this knee injury can occur if the knee is twisted or subject to force from an opponent during sport.
Severe Medial Collateral Ligament injuries should be checked by a knee specialist to check if knee surgery is required. In more moderate knee ligament injuries, a Knee Brace can be helpful by taking the strain off the injured ligament.
In the early stage of the injury the PRICE protocol should be followed - Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Ice Packs applied for 20 minutes every 2 hours can aid pain relief and help to prevent more tissue damage by cooling the tissues (never apply ice directly to the skin as it can cause an ice burn).
