Knee injury compensation claim and treatment

The strains put on the knee by the action of twisting and turning put the ligaments - bands of fibrous tissue connecting bones or cartilage and strengthening joints - under tremendous strain.

There are four main ligaments in the knee - one on either side and two across the middle.

The ligament injured in the case of footballers is the medial ligament, which runs up and down the inside of the knee. Physiotherapy is used to treat these injuries, as the medial ligament, being outside the joint, heals more easily than the internal cruciate ligaments.

The vast majority of isolated medial ligament injuries heal without an operation.

Cruciate injuries, usually require surgery to repair the damaged ligament.
