LCL

Outer knee band

LCL stands for "less than container load" in shipping—cargo that doesn't fill an entire freight container, so it's consolidated with other shipments.

In anatomy, LCL is the lateral collateral ligament, which stabilizes the outer side of the knee: She tore her LCL playing soccer.

The shipping sense dominates in logistics; the anatomical sense appears in sports medicine.
