5 week ago In two wheeler accident I got injury in my right knee. After that mri scan report impressed that high grade mcl tear injury and complete acl tear. Doctor told me surgery must for acl injury and Mcl an heel 4 to 6 week. But now Dr told that surgery for mcl have also require. After 3 week of mcl surgery we wiil do it acl surgery. MCL will select and utilize appropriate, validated scientific techniques of our choice, to include outsourcing of analytical services, to provide our user/client agencies with accurate, complete, and timely forensic science services. When any evidence is outsourced, this work will be placed with a competent subcontractor that complies with the.

The medial collateral ligament (MCL), or tibial collateral ligament (TCL), is one of the four major ligaments of the knee. It is on the medial (inner) side of the knee joint in humans and other primates. Its primary function is to resist outward turning forces on the knee.

Structure[edit]

It is a broad, flat, membranous band, situated slightly posterior on the medial side of the knee joint. It is attached proximally to the medial epicondyle of the femur immediately below the adductor tubercle; below to the medial condyle of the tibia and medial surface of its body. It resists forces that would push the knee medially, which would otherwise produce valgus deformity.

The fibers of the posterior part of the ligament are short and incline backward as they descend; they are inserted into the tibia above the groove for the semimembranosus muscle.

The anterior part of the ligament is a flattened band, about 10 centimeters long, which inclines forward as it descends.

It is inserted into the medial surface of the body of the tibia about 2.5 centimeters below the level of the condyle.

Crossing on top of the lower part of the MCL is the pes anserinus, the joined tendons of the sartorius, gracilis, and semitendinosus muscles; a bursa is interposed between the two.

The MCL's deep surface covers the inferior medial genicular vessels and nerve and the anterior portion of the tendon of the semimembranosus muscle, with which it is connected by a few fibers; it is intimately adherent to the medial meniscus.

Development[edit]

Embryologically and phylogenically, the ligament represents the distal portion of the tendon of adductor magnus muscle. In lower animals, adductor magnus inserts into the tibia. Because of this, the ligament occasionally contains muscle fibres. This is an atavistic variation.

Clinical significance[edit]

Injury[edit]

An MCL injury can be very painful and is caused by a valgus stress to a slightly bent knee, often when landing, bending or on high impact. It may be difficult to apply pressure on the injured leg for at least a few days.It can be caused by direct blow to lateral side of knee. The most common knee structure damaged in skiing is the medial collateral ligament, although the carve turn has diminished the incidence somewhat.^[1] MCL strains and tears are also fairly common in American football. The center and the guards are the most common victims of this type of injury due to the grip trend on their cleats, although sometimes it can be caused by a helmet striking the knee. The number of football players who get this injury has increased in recent years. Companies are currently trying to develop better cleats that will prevent the injury. MCL is also crucially affected in breaststroke and many professional swimmers suffer from chronic MCL pains.

There are three distinct levels in a MCL injury. Grade 1 is a minor sprain, grade 2 in a major sprain or a minor tear, and grade 3 is a major tear. Based on the grade of the injury treatment options will vary. ^[2]

Treatment[edit]

Depending on the grade of the injury, the lowest grade (grade 1) can take between 2 and 10 weeks for the injury to fully heal. Recovery times for grades 2 and 3 can take several weeks to several months.

Treatment of a partial tear or stretch injury is usually conservative. Sports medicine therapists should be a first choice option for diagnosis and treatment of injuries to this structure. This includes measures to control inflammation as well as bracing. Kannus has shown good clinical results with conservative care of grade II sprains, but poor results in grade III sprains.^[3] As a result, more severe grade III and IV injuries to the MCL that lead to ongoing instability may require arthroscopic surgery. However, the medical literature considers surgery for most MCL injuries to be controversial.^[4] Isolated MCL sprains are common.

For higher grade tears of the MCL with ongoing instability, the MCL can be sutured or replaced. Other non-surgical approaches for more severe MCL injuries may include prolotherapy, which has been shown by Reeves in a small RCT to reduce translation on KT-1000 arthrometer versus placebo.^[5] The future of non-surgical care for a non-healing MCL injury with laxity (partial ligament tear) is likely bioengineering.^{[citation needed]} Fan et al. (2008) have demonstrated that knee ligament reconstruction is possible using mesenchymal stem cells and a silk scaffold.^[6]

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow tore his ACL and MCL in his left knee, MRI results showed on Monday.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Ben Baby had the news first, with NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport confirming. The former also reported there were additional “structural issues.”

Mike Garafolo of NFL Network provided some important context:

“A multi-ligament injury like Carson Wentz had a few years ago. He got hurt Dec. 10 and missed the first two games the following year. So use that as a rough guide for how long Burrow will be sidelined.”

The initial diagnosis after the injury was a torn ACL, though the report left room for possible additional damage based on MRI results.

For his part, Burrow is playing it just like most figured he would — smooth. He offered a message to Bengals fans and those who rushed to support him, which included the likes of Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes.
