One month after the operation for the rupture of the medial collateral ligament of the knee joint, you can start to perform active flexion and extension activities of the knee joint at this time.
The medial collateral ligament of the knee starts from the medial epicondyle of the femur and ends at the medial condyle of the tibial plateau. A rupture of the medial collateral ligament is most commonly seen as a result of tremendous valgus violence, which leads to ligament rupture, and after the rupture, there will usually be severe pain, and a positive valgus test is seen on physical examination.
Usually, medial collateral ligament rupture requires ligament reconstruction or ligament suture to avoid knee instability. After the operation, a brace is given to immobilize the knee, and about one month after the operation, the brace is removed, and active and passive functional exercises of the knee can be begun to prevent the knee from stiffness.
After the operation of medial collateral ligament rupture of knee joint, we need to follow the doctor’s instruction to carry out activities and functional exercises, and if there is any discomfort, consult the doctor in time, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
