Knee ligament injuries are treated through surgery, immobilization, and other methods. Injuries can be classified into simple contusions and contusion-lacerations, with complete ligament rupture being the most common. After a knee injury, immobilization and swelling reduction are required, followed by further examinations to determine the extent of damage. Complete ligament ruptures typically require surgical repair under anesthesia. For mild contusions, stabilization is usually achieved using braces or orthopedic supports.
