Types of Ligaments in the Knee
Knee ligaments are tissue bands that connect the femur or thigh bone with the tibia or shinbone. The tissue bands are elastic and give flexibility and stability to the knee. There are four primary types of ligaments, and several minor ligaments present in the knee, like the paleta ligament, meniscus, and articular cartilage ligament, that also supports knee movement. Here are the 4 primary knee ligaments and their functions
ACL or Anterior Cruciate Ligament:ACL or Anterior Cruciate Ligament is a primary ligament of the knee that connects the thigh bone with the shinbone and is located at the center of the knee. ACL controls the forward movement and rotation of the shinbone.
The ACL is prone to injuries. People can tear their ACL due to overuse or wrong movement of the knee, the tibia, or the shinbone.
PCL or Posterior Cruciate Ligament:PCL or Posterior Cruciate Ligament is another major ligament of the knee. PCL is located in the back of the knee it also connects the thigh bone with the shinbone like ACL. The Posterior Cruciate ligament helps to keep the knee stable and controls the backward movement and rotation of the tibia.
PCL is also prone to injury. It can tear due to overuse or excessive pressure on the ligament, like forceful backward bending of the knee, wrong landing after a jump, knee twisting, etc.
Lateral Collateral Ligament or LCL:LCL or Lateral Collateral Ligament is situated in the outer knee and provides stability to the outer knee.
LCL can get torn due to overuse or wrong movement of the knee.
MCL or Medial Collateral Ligament:Medial Collateral Ligament or MCL is another primary ligament of the knee and provides stability to the inner knee.
MCL can get hurt due to excessive pressure on the knee or overuse.

People especially sports persons injure or tear their knee ligaments due to wrong rotation of the knee, excessive stress on the ligaments, wrong movement of the leg, etc. At SportsMed, we offer well-equipped knee ligament repair in Jaipur with our knee expert DR.

Our Successful Technique for Knee Ligament Repair in Jaipur
We at SportsMed use arthroscopic surgery as one of the most successful and effective techniques for knee ligament repair. In arthroscopy, a surgeon gives you general anaesthesia or spinal anaesthesia, so you cannot feel anything in the lower part of your leg. Then the surgeon makes small cuts or incisions in your knee for surgery.
The small holes are used to insert a micro camera and equipment for surgery. The camera guides the surgeon to operate the knee with the micro equipment.
