The
superficial medial collateral ligament and other
medial knee
stabilizers
—
i.e., the deep
medial
collateral ligament and the
posterior oblique
ligament
—
are the most
commonly injured ligamentous
structures
of the knee.
The main
structures of the medial aspect of the knee are
the proximal and distal divisions of the
superficial medial collateral ligament,
the meniscofemoral and meniscotibial divisions of
the deep
medial collateral ligament,
and the posterior oblique ligament.
Physical examination is the initial
method of choice for the diagnosis of medial knee
injuries through
the application of a
valgus load both at full knee extension and
between 20
°
and
30
°
of knee flexion.
Because nonoperative
treatment has a favorable outcome, there is a
consensus that it should be the
first
step in the management of acute isolated grade-III
injuries of the medial collateral ligament or
such injuries combined with an anterior
cruciate ligament tear
.
If operative treatment is required, an
anatomic repair or reconstruction is recommended.

The
understanding of the anatomy, biomechanics, and
treatment of medial knee injuries continues
to evolve. Quantitative techniques for
the measurement of anatomic structures and
biomechanical
testing and digital
radiography have improved anatomic definition of
the severity of injuries. The
development of new reconstruction
techniques may lead to improved surgical outcomes.
The superficial medial
collateral ligament and other medial knee
stabilizers
—
i.e., the deep

—
are the most
commonly injured ligamentous
structures
of the knee1-4. The incidence of injuries to these
medial knee structures has been
reported to be 0.24 per 1000 in the
United States in any given year5 and to be twice
as high in males
(0.36 compared with
0.18 in females)5. The majority of medial knee
ligament tears are isolated.
These
injuries occur predominantly in young individuals
participating in sports activities, with the
mechanism of injury involving valgus
knee loading, external rotation, or a combined
force vector
occurring in such sports
as skiing, ice hockey, and soccer

Anatomy
Superficial
Medial Collateral Ligament
The
superficial medial collateral ligament, commonly
called the tibial collateral ligament, is the
largest structure of the medial aspect
of the knee (Fig. 1, A). This structure consists
of one femoral
attachment and two
tibial attachments9. Quantitative assessment has
shown the femoral
attachment to be oval
and, on the average, 3.2 mm proximal and 4.8 mm
posterior to the medial
epicondyle. As
the superficial medial collateral ligament courses
distally, it has two tibial
attachments. The proximal tibial
attachment is primarily to soft tissue over the
termination of the
anterior arm of the
semimembranosus tendon and is located an average
of 12.2 mm distal to the
tibial joint
line9. The distal tibial attachment of the
superficial medial collateral ligament is broad
and
is directly to bone at an average
of 61.2 mm distal to the tibial joint line; it is
located just anterior to
the
posteromedial crest of the tibia9. The two
distinct tibial attachments have been reported to
result in two distinct functioning
divisions of the superficial medial collateral
ligament10.

Posterior Oblique Ligament
The posterior oblique ligament is a
fibrous extension off the distal aspect of the
semimembranosus
that blends with and
reinforces the posteromedial aspect of the joint
capsule (Fig. 1, A). It consists
of
three fascial attachments at the knee joint, with
the most important portion being the central
arm9,10. On the average, the central
arm of the posterior oblique ligament attaches on
the femur
7.7 mm distal and 2.9 mm
anterior to the gastrocnemius tubercle9. In some
of the earlier
descriptions of medial
knee anatomy, the superficial medial collateral
ligament and the posterior
oblique
ligament were identified as one confluent
structure. Brantigan and Voshell reported an
oblique portion of the superficial
medial collateral ligament, which is now
recognized as the posterior
oblique
ligament11,12. Slocum and Larson reported that the
posterosuperior and posteroinferior
fibers that coursed off the posterior
aspect of the superficial medial collateral
ligament formed a
triangular membrane,
which coursed over the posteromedial aspect of the
capsule, reinforcing the
posterior
aspect of the capsule, and also attached to the
tibia13. While they did not identify it as
such, their description fits closely
with the description of the central arm of the
posterior oblique
ligament9.
More recent authors have
noted that the superficial medial collateral
ligament and the posterior
oblique
ligament are separate structures, although there
has been a wide variation in the
descriptions of the femoral attachment
site of the posterior oblique ligament14-16. It is
important to
recognize that the femoral
attachment of the posterior oblique ligament
extends outside of the zone
described
by some authors as the oblique portion of the
superficial medial collateral
ligament11-13,17,18. Until recently,
when it was reported that there are three osseous
prominences
along the medial aspect of
the knee, descriptions of the femoral attachment
of the posterior oblique
ligament were
inconsistent. However
, with the
recognition that the femoral attachment of the
posterior oblique ligament is located
closer to the gastrocnemius tubercle than to the
adductor
tubercle, much of the above
ambiguity has been elucidated9.
后斜韧带

的研究认为后上纤维和后下纤维自内侧副韧带浅层后缘向后延伸形成三角

13
。而
他们却没有认识到,按照这
样的描述其实和后斜韧带中央臂的性状是非常符合的
9
。
近来学者们注意到内侧副韧带浅层和后斜韧带是各自独立的结构,
虽然对于后
斜韧带股骨附着点的描
述仍存在很大差异
14-16
。后斜韧带股骨附着点的范围实际上超出了部分学者描述的内侧副韧带浅层
斜部的附着区域
11-13,17,18
,认识到这一点是很重
要的。直到最近,有研究发现在膝关节内侧面存
在三个骨性突起,且后斜韧带股骨附着点
的描述也并不统一。然而,认识清楚后斜韧带股骨附着点的
位置,相比内收肌结节,其实
更接近腓肠肌结节,这也很好地解释了以上的种种混淆

Deep Medial
Collateral Ligament
The deep medial
collateral ligament comprises the thickened medial
aspect of the joint capsule that
is
deep to the superficial medial collateral
ligament. It is divided into meniscofemoral and
meniscotibial components (Fig. 1,
. The meniscofemoral portion has a
slightly curved convex
attachment 12.6
mm distal and deep to the femoral attachment of
the superficial medial collateral
ligament. The meniscotibial portion,
which is much shorter and thicker than the
meniscofemoral
portion, attaches just
distal to the edge of the articular cartilage of
the medial tibial plateau, 3.2 mm
distal to the medial joint line, and
9.0 mm proximal to the proximal tibial attachment
of the
superficial medial collateral
ligament9. Other authors have also reported that
the meniscofemoral
portion attaches
deep to the superficial medial collateral ligament
and the meniscotibial portion
attaches
just distal to the tibial articular surface13,19.
内侧副韧带深层
内侧副韧带深层主要由关节囊内侧部分增厚而形成,
位于内侧副韧带浅层的深面,
可分为板股韧带和
板胫韧带两部分(图

。板股部
分的附着点稍呈弧形凸起,在内侧副韧带浅层深面,位于其股骨附
着点以远
12.6mm
。板胫部分较板股部分更短更厚,止于胫骨内侧平台关节软骨缘
稍远处,约位于内
侧关节线下方
3.2mm
,距内侧副韧带浅层近侧胫骨止点上方
9.0mm9
。另外
有学者也曾报道板股部分
的附着点位于内侧副韧带浅层的深面,而板胫部分则在胫骨关节
面的稍下方

。
Classification
The grading of medial knee ligament
injuries on physical examination relies on both
the patient's
ability to relax and the
clinician's ability to detect an end point during
the application of a valgus load
at
between 20
°
and
30
°
of knee flexion. When
the patient has pain leading to guarding and the
clinician does not wish to cause more
pain, a valgus stress test or valgus stress
radiograph may
result in an
underestimation of the amount of medial knee
laxity. The uninjured contralateral side is
used as a baseline for comparison.
A widely utilized scale for
grading medial knee injuries was established by
the American Medical
Association
Standard Nomenclature of Athletic Injuries (Fig.
2, Table I)20. With this system, an
isolated grade-I, first-degree tear
presents with localized tenderness and no laxity.
An isolated
grade-II, second-degree
tear presents with localized tenderness and
partially torn medial collateral
and
posterior oblique fibers. The fibers are still
opposed, and there may or may not be pathologic
laxity. Isolated grade-III, third-
degree tears present with complete disruption and
laxity with an
applied valgus stress.
Isolated medial knee injuries have also been
classified in accordance with the
amount of laxity observed at
30
°
of knee flexion with a
valgus applied moment. Grades 1+, 2+, and
3+ correspond to subjective gapping of
the medial joint line of 3 to 5 mm, 6 to 10 mm,
and >10 mm,
respectively, when compared
with the uninjured, contralateral side3,21-24.
Clinicians can utilize this
system to
define the initial grade of injury, to plan
treatment (nonoperative or operative), and to
determine evidence of healing with
nonoperative treatment.

Healing
The superficial
medial collateral ligament has been reported to
have an abundant vascular supply.
Healing of this ligament follows the
classic model of healing involving hemorrhage,
inflammation,
repair
, and
remodeling25. Studies of the variables involved in
the healing of the superficial medial
collateral ligament in animals have
shown that the healing is location dependent. In
one study of a
rabbit superficial
medial collateral ligament injury model, the
ligament took longer to heal when it
was injured near either attachment site
than when it had a midsubstance injury26.
The biological effects of
immobilization have also been widely studied in
superficial medial collateral
ligament
injury models. In a rabbit model, a reduction of
collagen mass and increased collagen
degradation were observed after twelve
weeks of immobilization27. These negative effects
of
immobilization were noted to be
caused by collagen matrix reorganization and
catabolic behavior
within the medial
collateral ligament after injury28,29. In another
study, dogs that had undergone
surgical
transection of the superficial medial collateral
ligament were divided into three treatment
groups: early motion, immobilization
for three weeks, and immobilization for six
weeks30. The
authors concluded that
early motion protocols lead to enhanced healing
and improved
biomechanical properties
of the superficial medial collateral ligament.
This information was
subsequently used
to promote and reinforce similar nonoperative
rehabilitation protocols for these
injuries in humans.
愈合
据研

< br>25
。
但也有与之不同的报道,动物实验显示内侧副韧带

有学者研

发现与韧带中部损伤相比,

在内侧副韧带浅层损伤的模型中制动的生物学

Clinically Relevant Biomechanics
A complete understanding of
medial knee biomechanics is valuable for the
assessment of which
injured structures
should be repaired or reconstructed. An
understanding of the degree of abnormal
joint motion that occurs when a
structure is injured greatly assists with the
interpretation of the
results of the
clinical examination and helps to determine the
presence of concurrent ligament injury.
With the trend toward more anatomic
reconstruction, it is important to understand the
function of,
and the differences
between, the individual components of these main
medial knee-stabilizing
structures.
Biomechanical studies have shown that the
superficial medial collateral ligament is the
primary restraint to valgus laxity of
the knee1,31-34. One study, in which buckle
transducers were
used, quantitatively
demonstrated differences between the two divisions
of the superficial medial
collateral
ligament in terms of their responses to applied
loads10. The implications of these
observations are that, although the
superficial medial collateral ligament has
previously been
biomechanically tested
and operatively reconstructed under the assumption
that it is one continuous
structure1,33,35-40, the two divisions
of the ligament actually function as conjoined but
distinct
structures. Thus, the
biomechanical study10 suggests that the aim of an
operative repair or
reconstruction of
the superficial medial collateral ligament should
be to restore the distinct functions
of
both divisions by reattaching the two tibial
attachments in an attempt to reproduce the overall
function of the superficial medial
collateral ligament construct.
临床生物力学
深入了解膝关节内侧结构的生物力学性能对于明确哪些结构损伤必须进行修复或重建意义重大。
认识
清楚某一结构损伤后导致关节异常活动的程度,
对于解释临床查体的结果以及确定是否存在合并的韧
带损伤都是很有帮助的。
随着越来越提倡解剖重建,
理解膝关节内侧稳定结构各个组分的功能及其相
互之间的差异则显得尤为重要。
生物力学研究显示内侧副韧带浅
层主要起到限制膝关节过度外翻的作
用
1,31-34
。其中有一项研究,应用环扣传感器进行了定量分析,结果显示了内侧副韧带浅层在加载
负荷后两个部分之间的反应不同
10
。
这一研究提示,
尽管以前的生物力学试验和手术重建都将内侧副
韧带浅层当作一个连续的结构来处理
1,33,35-40
,而事实上该韧带的两个组分虽然协同作用但却是两
个相互独立的结构。
p>
因此,
有生物力学研究
10
主张在对内侧副韧带浅层进行手术修复或重建时,
应以
恢复其两个组分不同的功能为目的,分别重建两个胫骨附着点以求还原内侧副韧带浅层的所有功能。
The posterior oblique
ligament reinforces the posteromedial aspect of
the capsule, which courses off
the
distal aspect of the semimembranosus tendon2,9,14.
From a biomechanical perspective, the
posterior oblique ligament functions as
an internal rotator and valgus stabilizer at
between 0
°
and
30
°
of knee
flexion1,2,10,35,37,38,41,42. It has also been
reported that, with applied internal
rotation torques at
0
°
of knee flexion, the
loads on the posterior oblique ligament are
significantly
higher than those on
either division of the superficial medial
collateral ligament10. In addition, it has
been reported that there is a
reciprocal load response to internal rotation
torque between the
posterior oblique
ligament and the superficial medial collateral
ligament as the degree of knee
flexion
increases, with a higher load response in the
superficial medial collateral ligament at
90
°
of
knee
flexion. This observation demonstrates that there
is a complementary relationship between the
posterior oblique ligament and the
superficial medial collateral ligament with regard
to the
resistance of internal rotation
torques that depends on the knee flexion angle. A
subsequent study of
load distribution
with buckle transducers showed that sectioning of
the components of both the deep
medial
collateral ligament and the superficial medial
collateral ligament resulted in significant
increases, compared with the intact
state, in the forces experienced by the posterior
oblique
ligament under valgus loads at
0
°
,
20
°
, and
30
°
of knee flexion42. This
observation correlates both
with
previous reports that the posterior oblique
ligament in intact knees experiences tensile load
with valgus forces, especially close to
knee extension10,42, and that the posterior
oblique ligament
has a secondary role
in providing valgus stability of the knee35,43,44.

。
Compared with the number of studies on
the function of the superficial medial collateral
ligament,
there are fewer reports on
the isolated function of the deep medial
collateral ligament. The authors
of
previous sequential sectioning studies done to
evaluate the function of the deep medial
collateral
ligament described it as a
secondary restraint to valgus loads41-43. More
specifically, they found
that valgus
stabilization was provided by the meniscofemoral
portion of the deep medial collateral
ligament at all tested flexion angles
and by the meniscotibial portion of the deep
medial collateral
ligament at
60
°
of knee flexion. The
deep medial collateral ligament was also reported
to provide
restraint against external
rotation torque in knees flexed between
30
°
and
90
°
41,43.
有关内侧副韧带浅层功能的研究很多,
与之相比,
单
纯研究内侧副韧带深层相关功能的报道则相对较
少。
上文提到的

41-43
。更确切地说,
他们发现外翻稳定性的维持在膝关节的各个屈曲角度,内侧副

These
results demonstrate that injuries to the

knee alter the intricate load-sharing
relationships that exist among all of the medial
knee structures
and, if left untreated,
could potentially increase the risk of further
injury42,45. Therefore, on the
basis of
the synthesis of information from the literature
and our personal perspective, we believe
that, in cases in which an operative
repair or reconstruction is indicated,
consideration should be
given to
repairing or reconstructing all injured medial
knee structures to restore the normal
load-sharing relationships among those
structures at the time of operative treatment.
An anatomic medial knee
reconstruction technique (Fig. 3)46, based on
previous quantitative
anatomic9 and
biomechanical studies10,42, was developed in an
attempt to restore normal stability
to
a knee following complete sectioning of the
superficial medial collateral ligament and
posterior
oblique ligament. It was
reported that this reconstruction restored nearly
normal stability to the knee
and that,
following an applied load, the reconstructed
ligaments did not have a greater force
response than intact ligaments at any
point during testing46. This suggests that
overconstraint of
the knee and
overloading of the reconstruction grafts, which
could lead to graft failure, was
prevented by the use of this technique.

Diagnosis
History
Patients often describe a
mechanism of injury involving a contact or
noncontact valgus force to the
knee.
They also report pain and swelling along the
medial aspect of the knee. When asked to explain
the type of instability that they feel
with activities, individuals with medial knee
injuries involving the
superficial
medial collateral ligament, posterior oblique
ligament, and deep medial collateral
ligament often described a side-to-side
feeling of instability, especially when they were
athletes who
performed cutting and
pivoting maneuvers.

(

Clinical Evaluation
Physical examination of the
knee remains the most suitable tool for obtaining
a diagnosis of injury to
its medial
structures. Beginning with visual inspection,
clinicians may observe localized swelling or
ecchymosis over the femoral or tibial
attachment of the superficial medial collateral
ligament9.
These areas can be palpated
to help to identify tenderness of the superficial
medial collateral
ligament. It is
important to understand the anatomy of the medial
side of the knee to appropriately
palpate and assess the structures
involved9.
A valgus load
applied at 20
°
to
30
°
of knee flexion is used
to detect medial joint opening (Fig. 4, A).
Applying the valgus stress at both
0
°
and
30
°
of knee flexion can
further assist in the diagnosis of the
injury pattern because when a knee has
increased medial joint space opening at
30
°
of flexion but
not at 0
°
the
posterior oblique ligament is most likely still
intact. An additional assessment performed
at this time of valgus moment
application is evaluation of the integrity of the
so-called end point. If
the medial knee
structures are completely ruptured, there will be
no definitive end point and the
anterior cruciate ligament may be
providing a secondary restraint to the valgus
stress41. It is
therefore important to
verify this observation with the Lachman47,
anterior drawer
, and pivot shift
tests and assess the integrity of the
anterior cruciate ligament in association with
medial knee injury.
临床评估
