Rupture of the lateral collateral ligament of the knee without surgery is possible, but only for some patients and patients with mild injuries, etc. Most patients still need to undergo surgical treatment.
1. Without surgery: Rupture of the lateral collateral ligament of the knee belongs to the more common type of knee joint trauma, mostly caused by excessive pulling of the lateral collateral ligament. If the lateral collateral ligament is only partially torn, and the patient does not require so much exercise intensity, conservative treatment can be carried out, such as immobilizing the knee joint with a plaster cast or a brace.
2. Surgery: If the lateral collateral ligament of the knee is completely ruptured after the injury, and the patient himself belongs to the young and middle-aged people, and the exercise intensity of the knee joint is relatively high in the future, it is usually recommended to carry out surgical treatment, and the surgical treatment usually chooses the knee arthroscopic repair or reconstruction of lateral collateral ligament, and the surgical method needs to be decided according to the situation of the patient’s ligament rupture.
If the diagnosis of lateral collateral ligament rupture in the knee is confirmed, early and standardized treatment is recommended to reduce the adverse effects of the disease.
