In the knee, it usually means the inner (medial) side of the joint opens more than expected under stress. It is commonly discussed when evaluating ligament injuries, especially the medial collateral ligament (MCL). Clinicians also use the term when describing certain post-surgical or arthritic patterns of knee instability."}
