LCL stands for the lateral collateral ligament of the knee. It is a strong band of connective tissue on the outer (lateral) side of the knee. Its main role is to help stabilize the knee during standing, walking, and pivoting. In clinical care, LCL is commonly discussed when evaluating lateral knee pain or instability after injury.
