Ligament-related injuries
Ligaments are structures that attach the bones together. They are common in the ankles, knees and shoulders. These need to be expertly managed otherwise they can lead to longer term problems including osteoarthritis.
Common ligament injuries we treat are:
- Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
- Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
- Medial ligament of the knee (MCL)
- Lateral ligaments of the knee and ankle (LCL)
- Ligaments of the shoulder including the acromioclavicular or AC joint
We also offer proven ligament injury such as the PEP program developed by the Santa Monica Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Research Foundation which showed an 88% reduction in ACL injuries after a 12 week program.
We can supply all necessary aids such as tape, crutches and braces to assist in ligament healing and have contacts with the region’s best surgeons and other specialists if needed.
