Lateral blows to the extended knee commonly result in damage to the tibial collateral ligament and medial meniscus, as well as the anterior cruciate ligament. The suprapatellar ligament is not typically affected in this type of injury, and the arcuate popliteal and posterior cruciate ligaments are more commonly damaged in hyperextension injuries. The oblique popliteal and extracapsular ligaments are not typically affected in this type of injury.
