The iliofemoral ligament is a main link between the two. Ligaments arenât meant to stretch but they can. If enough pressure is exerted on a ligament it can become overstretched or tear from poor mechanics or a blunt force injury like a torn acl in football. But ligaments can also become overstretched from poor posture.
Treatment of Grade II MCL Tears: When a grade II MCL injury occurs, use of a hinged knee brace is common in early treatment. The hinged knee brace will allow you to bend the knee, but provide support to the injured ligament. Otherwise, the treatment principles are the same as those for patients with a grade I MCL tear.
