Ligamental compound of knee joint represents in mechanical terms, the most
complex joint ligamental concatenation. According to seriousness and occurrence of
damage, injuries of collateral ligaments can be divided into three degrees.
Aim of paper was monitoring and evaluation of results of physiotherapeutic
treatment in sportsmen with collateral ligaments injury (CLs) of knee joint.
The paper comprises 54 sportsmen over the period of four years aged from 16 to 32.
Results of paper: 40% (74%) injured collateral ligaments while playing game,
during football game and 14 (26%) while training, 43 (79,6%) had collateral ligament
injuries of right leg and 11 (20,4%) of left leg.
In 20( 37%) it was a fi rst (1 st) degree injury, in 26(48,1 %) - second (2nd) degree
and in 8 (14%) third (3rd ) degree injury.
Treatment was conducted over three phases: fi rst - the phase of immobilization ( 2-
6 weeks) with K.T.H. of free extremities. Second - the phase of removing immobilization,
cryo T.h in combination with available electro- procedures. Third phase was enabling
for high- risk physical activities.
Results of paper have been classifi ed into four groups: excellent result was
observed in 41 ( 76%) sportsmen, good in 6 (11 %) and satisfactory in 2( 3,8%).
Conclusion: Illustrated results obtained on the basis of functional research and
after completed rehabilitation allow us to recommend this rehabilitation program as on
of the most effi cient ways in treatment of such serious injuries. ligament, joint, knee, sport, injuries, game, training...
