It is common for LCL injuries to respond well to conservative management techniques, however, in some cases, surgery may be required particularly if there is a disruption to the ligaments.

Particularly if the injury is a grade 3; there is a high chance of a combination of injuries involving the meniscus, ACL and posterolateral corner which will require surgery.

90% of patients have no complications post-surgery, however, the risks include pain, instability, infection, stiffness and difficulty in returning to your prior peak performance.

Your myotherapist will aim to treat your LCL based on the severity of your injury as discussed previously.

Your treatments will aim to reduce inflammation, strengthen your lower limbs, reduce pain, normalise your range of motion, strengthen your knee, improve your proprioception, normalise your muscle lengths,
and improve your agility and function.

Depending on the grade of your injury you may start to feel better within just a few weeks!

If you suffer a grade 3 sprain your ligament will have torn completely which causes bleeding and swelling. Your joint may be unstable and unable to bear weight.

You may even experience severe pain but often times there will be no pain as all the pain fibres are torn at the time of injury.

When a grade 3 tear occurs all your other nearby structures are at risk of injuries such as ACL or meniscus.
