The MCL is typically injured when an outside(valgus) force makes the knee go inward.The injury commonly occurs during a fall, which we all know can happen frequently while skiing.

An Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear andmeniscus tear commonly happen at the same time as an MCL tear because they result from the same or similar forces.

膝关节受到由外往内的外力而内扣(外翻)，是内侧副韧带典型的受伤机制，我们都知道滑雪经常有摔倒的情状发生。在摔倒的过程中产生内侧副韧带损伤相当的常见，同样或是相似的外力也经常造成前交叉韧带及半月板的损伤往往与内侧副韧带损伤同时发生。

Pain,swelling and instability are all common with this injury. It is possible that you will lose some joint range of motion and struggle to put weight throughyour leg initially. You may feel unstable when walking on uneven ground or tryto change directions quickly.

If you have any of these signs and symptoms,it is suggested you see a Doctor or Physical Therapist. 

损伤通常伴随着疼痛、肿胀以及不稳定。一开始你的关节活动度可能会减少一些，也很难用患侧承重。在不平的地面上行走或者是快速的改变方向时，或许会感到不稳定如果你出现了任何以上所提到的症状，代表你需要寻求医生或是物理治疗师的协助了。

MCL injuries can be managed non-operatively unless you have a severe tear or multiple injuries. Initially rest, ice, compression, and elevation are suggested. Once the initial pain and swelling has been controlled, then graded exercise underthe guidance of a Physical Therapist is suggested. 

除非你有很严重的韧带撕裂或是同时有多种损伤，内侧副韧带的损伤可以通过非手术的方法进行治疗受伤初期，建议休息冰敷、加压以及抬高。当初的疼痛及肿胀被控制住之后，建议在物理治疗师的指导之下进行循序渐进的康复运动。
