For future reference, Wikipedia articles aren't the place to seek advice about injuries to a location. A better thing to do would be to contact a doctor or an expert. Wikipedia is neither. Please see Wikipedia:Medical disclaimer. Thanks! Pianostar9 (talk) 16:02, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Treatment: Crystal Ball?

Does the following sentence in the treatment section count as a Crystal Ball statement? "The future of non-surgical care for a non-healing MCL injury with laxity (partial ligament tear) is likely bioengineering." --Abbaroodle (talk) 08:30, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

It might. I have added a citation needed to this claim, but not many people visit this page! Pianostar9 (talk) 16:04, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

"slightly posterior on the medial side of the knee joint" come again? Wouldn't "slightly back on the inside of the knee joint" be easier for people to understand? OR "slightly posterior on the medial side (side closest to the other knee) of the knee joint" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.6.42.127 (talk) 01:30, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

This isn't exactly an easy to understand article. Take this, for example. "Embryologically and phylogenically, the ligament represents the distal portion of the tendon of adductor magnus muscle. In lower animals, adductor magnus inserts into the tibia. Because of this, the ligament occasionally contains muscle fibres. This is an atavistic variation."

Regardless, some of this has been fixed. Pianostar9 (talk) 16:13, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

Why the Funk is the image with the lateral ligament facing us, but not the medial? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.208.139.31 (talk) 17:55, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
