To reduce your chance of a knee ligament sprain in the future you should undergo agility, proprioceptive and knee strengthening training programs.

If you return to your chosen sport or activity too early there is a very high risk of reinjury. make sure to discuss your return to sport with your surgeon and myotherapist.

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!
