The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) or fibular collateral ligament, is one of the major stabilizers of the knee joint with a primary purpose of preventing excess varus and posterior-lateral rotation of the knee. Although less frequent than other ligament injuries, an injury to the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) of the knee is most commonly seen after a high-energy blow to the anteromedial knee, combining hyperextension and extreme varus force. The LCL can also be injured with a non-contact varus stress or non contact hyperextension. The LCL most commonly occurs in sports (40%) with high velocity pivoting and jumping such as soccer basketball, skiing, football or hockey. Tennis and gymnastics have been shown to have the highest likelihood of an isolated LCL injury.
The LCL can be sprained (grade I), partially ruptured (grade II) or completely ruptured (grade III). The LCL is rarely injured alone and therefore additional damage of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), and posterior-lateral corner (PLC) is common along with the LCL when the lateral knee structures are injured.
