A clavicle fracture, commonly known as a broken collarbone, is a fracture of the bone that runs between the breastbone and the shoulder. It is a common injury after falls, cycling accidents, contact sport, motorbike accidents, or direct impact to the shoulder. The clavicle helps connect the arm to the body and plays an important role in shoulder movement, strength and stability. When fractured, it can cause significant pain, reduced arm movement, and difficulty with daily tasks such as...

An LCL injury is an injury to the lateral collateral ligament, one of the key stabilising ligaments on the outside of the knee. The LCL helps stop the knee from opening up too far on the outside. In simple terms, it helps protect the knee from side-to-side stress. In technical terms, the LCL resists varus stress at the knee and contributes to posterolateral stability, especially during cutting, pivoting, landing and contact-based movements.

A PCL injury is an injury to the posterior cruciate ligament, one of the main stabilising ligaments inside the knee. The PCL helps stop the shin bone from sliding too far backwards under the thigh bone. In simple terms, it helps stop the knee from “shifting backwards.” In technical terms, the PCL resists posterior translation of the tibia on the femur and helps with overall knee stability, especially when the knee is bent.
