The menisci of the knee are the most damaged structures to be hit in that area, especially in sports like soccer. In fact, the medial meniscus is more prone to injury than the lateral meniscus, and which is connected to medial collateral ligament and the joint capsule, so that it is less mobile. Treatment of a meniscus injury as broken medial meniscus may involve surgery, depending on the patient. In case of surgery, only the damaged part of the meniscus is cut by arthroscopy. ...

Medial collateral ligament

The medial collateral ligament of the knee is one of the ligaments that support the joint, and limit their movement from side to side. It runs from the inside of the bottom of the thighbone to the inside of the top of the shin bone, ie joins the femur to the tibia. The main injury affecting this area are the medial collateral ligament sprain and rupture of the medial collateral ligament usually caused by trauma to the knee when it is in a flexed position or external rotation and valgus (outward deflection by congenital) malformation. Another complication affecting this ligament is the Pellegrini-Stieda syndrome, which is the ossification of the medial collateral ligament of the knee. ...
