What are the lateral ligaments and what causes injury? The lateral ligaments are the ligaments on the outside of the knee. Injury to the lateral ligament is commonly traumatic, and caused by the lower leg being forced in towards the opposite foot. An impact to the inside of the knee can also cause the outside ligament to tear. In the case of a severe sprain, it is possible that the cruciate ligaments may have been damaged as well.
