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 Collateral Ligament Injuries. Most injuries to the collateral ligaments will heal with immobilizing the knee joint in a cast or brace for 4-6 weeks. An isolated injury to the lateral collateral ligament or medial collateral ligament usually does not require surgical repair or reconstruction.The initial treatment for a collateral ligament injury focuses on reducing the inflammation (pain and swelling) in the knee.he medial collateral ligament can tear in the middle of the ligament, where the medial collateral ligament attaches to the tibia, or where the medial collateral ligament attaches to the femur. If the force against the knee or leg is great enough other ligaments can tear as well.
