Knee Ligament Injuries
Knee ligament injuries can cause severe knee pain. The role of 
ligaments is to join your thigh bone (femur) to your lower leg bones 
(fibula and tibia). These two keep your knee joint stable. Well, 
anyone can develop knee ligament injuries. 
Basically, these are sports injuries that occur in the posterior 
cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and 
anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). High-energy accidents like car 
crashes can also develop knee ligament injuries.
