Knee Instability Treatment in Dubai
The knee is mainly stabilised by four ligaments. When any of these ligaments are injured you may encounter knee instability issues. Due to this, your knees may feel as if they are twisting, moving side to side or collapsing while doing daily activities.
There are multiple types of injuries that can cause knee instability. However, if your knee has endured a minor sprain, you may simply follow the RICE method; Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation as initial management. Dr rik Kundra provides Knee Instability Treatment in Dubai and treats such conditions with utmost care.
The most common ligament injuries that pose a risk of Knee Instability are:
When the ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) has a tear, the shin bone (tibia) can slide in front of the thigh bone (femur). Such injuries can occur because of a wrong jump or awkward pivoting or twisting in the knee. Severe pain and swelling can occur in such cases.
If the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) in torn, the shin bone can slide backwards under the thigh bone. Some people describe the feeling of PCL instability as looseness in the entire knee. Swelling within a few hours of injury is a common symptom in these cases. These injuries can occur during sports and can occur as a result of motor vehicle accidents when the knee strikes the dashboard or seat in front.
MCL (Medial Collateral Ligament) and LCL (lateral collateral ligaments) are structures that extend down either side of the knee and help to provide stability along the sides of the knee. When the MCL or LCL sustains injury, the knee has a sensation of collapsing sideways.
