Injuries to the collateral ligaments are usually caused by a force that pushes the knee sideways. These are often contact injuries.
Injuries to the MCL are usually caused by a direct blow to the outside of the knee and are often sports-related.
Blows to the inside of the knee that push the knee outwards may injure the lateral collateral ligament (LCL). Lateral collateral ligament tears occur less frequently than other knee injuries.
