The medial collateral ligament (MCL) and lateral collateral ligament (LCL) are located on the medial (inner) and lateral (outer) side of the knee. The attach to the distal (bottom) end of the femur (thighbone) and proximal (top) end of the tibia (shinbone) to play an important role in joint strength and stability. A torn MCL/LCL may include symptoms of pain, swelling and stiffness, tenderness along the inside/outside of the knee and instability.
Typically caused when a force (from a fall or direct contact) occurs to either side of the knee. The severity of the force causes the ligament to stretch, resulting in a strain or tear of the ligament.
Weight-bearing activities such as standing and walking are likely to cause increased pain.
Medial and lateral knee injuries often sneak up with side-to-side instability. A brace offers the support your ligaments need to recover without fear of sudden shifts. Wear it during activity or on uneven terrain. Here’s a smart tip: Keep it snug but flexible—you want support, not a tourniquet. Finding a brace that can limit flexion and/or extension can protect an MCL / LCL tear. The brace isn’t the story. You are—and you’re already writing your comeback.
