The knee is the largest joint in the body. The stability of the knee depends on the ligaments and muscles around it. Therefore, Knee ligaments and injuries are very common. Two sets of ligaments in the knee give it stability: the cruciate ligaments and the collateral ligaments.
Cruciate Ligaments
The cruciate ligaments are located within the knee joint and connect the thighbone (femur) to the shinbone (tibia). They function like short ropes that hold the bones of the knee joint tightly together when the leg is bent or straight. This is needed for proper knee joint movement.
The cruciate ligaments are so named because they cross each other to form an “X.” The term cruciate comes from the Latin word crux, which means “cross.”
The cruciate ligament located toward the front of the knee is the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The cruciate ligament located toward the rear of the knee is the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Treatment for this and other knee injuries, is Cold Laser Therapy, and used by football clubs such as A. C. Milan, Chelsea F C. Golf and Tennis Professionals.
Cold laser therapy is very effective form of treatment for soft tissue injuries of the knee and is utilized by football clubs such as Chelsea F.C. A.C.Milan as well as professional athletes, tennis players, and golf professionals.
Treatment with anti-inflammatory medications, ice packs and rest may help. (See our Cold Laser Therapy under Inflammatory conditions.). Bursitis of the knee occurs on the inside of the knee (anserine bursitis) and the front of the kneecap (patellar bursitis, or commonly known as “housemaid’s knee”). Bursitis is generally treated with ice packs, immobilization, and anti-inflammatory medications or Cold laser therapy.
