📌 Intra-Articular Entrapment of the MCL
- An entrapped ligament within the joint space (intra-articularly) leads to prolonged symptoms and delayed healing of the ligamentous injury, regardless of the patient's age.
- Less common injury patterns include entrapment of the ligament more proximally, beneath a reverse Segond fracture, or within the medial femorotibial compartment (the inner portion of the knee joint between the femur and tibia bones).
- Essentially, when a ligament becomes entrapped or caught within the joint space, it results in prolonged symptoms and delayed healing of the ligament injury.
