What is an LCL Injury?

An LCL (Lateral Collateral Ligament) injury is a tear or sprain of the ligament located on the outer side of the knee, which helps stabilise the joint and prevent excessive side-to-side movement.

LCL injuries often result from trauma or impact to the inner side of the knee, commonly occurring during sports like soccer, basketball, and skiing. Symptoms of an LCL injury include pain, swelling, stiffness, and instability on the outer knee. Although challenging, with proper treatment and rehabilitation, you can recover from an LCL injury, restoring stability and mobility.

Are You Struggling with Knee Pain and Instability from an LCL Injury?

Living with an LCL injury can make daily tasks and physical activities difficult. The pain, swelling, and instability may impact your ability to walk, climb stairs, or participate in sports, which can be frustrating when you’re eager to return to your normal routine. With the right care and recovery plan, you can effectively manage an LCL injury, reduce discomfort, and regain confidence in your knee.

LCL Injuries are Painful – But You Don’t Have to Be Held Back

  • Physical Limitations: Pain, stiffness, and instability along the outer knee that restricts movement and daily activities.
  • Emotional Impact: Frustration from limited mobility, concerns about re-injury, and a desire to return to sports or active living.
  • Fairness: Everyone deserves access to effective care that helps them recover fully, restore strength, and maintain knee stability for the long term.
