At Westminster Multi Specialty Clinic in Dubai Healthcare City, our Orthopedics Department provides specialized care for patients with knee ligament injuries. The knee is stabilized by four main ligaments, and damage to any of them can cause pain, instability, and difficulty with daily movement or sports performance.

With advanced diagnostics, personalized treatment, and surgical expertise when required, we help patients recover strength, stability, and confidence. Learn more about our full Orthopedic Services.

Understanding Knee Ligament Injuries

The knee’s stability depends on four major ligaments:

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL): Often injured during sudden stops, pivots, or landings.
• Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL): Commonly damaged in high-impact trauma or accidents.
• Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL): Injured from blows to the outside of the knee.
• Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL): Less common, usually caused by force to the inside of the knee.

These injuries may range from mild sprains to complete tears and can occur in athletes as well as non-athletes.

Signs You Should Seek Help

You may need an orthopedic evaluation if you experience:

• A popping sound or sudden pain at the time of injury
• Swelling within hours of the injury
• Knee instability or “giving way” when walking or running
• Difficulty bending, straightening, or bearing weight on the knee
• Ongoing stiffness, pain, or weakness despite rest
• Recurring injuries during sports or activity
