LCL Injury

Symptoms

Suggestive of an LCL injury are:
  • Blow to the inside of the knee or fall to the side while foot is firmly planted.
  • Knee giving way or instability of the knee to the inside
  • Pain in the knee
  • Loss of sensation in the foot or below the knee, as the peroneal nerve passes alongside the LCL and may be disrupted at the time of injury or due to swelling in the area.
