Treatment consists of:
Most MCL injuries do not require surgery. Most MCL injuries are grade 1 or grade 2 tears. Because of the pain that occurs when the MCL is stretched we will typically put you in a brace for a few weeks to support the ligament and ease your pain. Most of you can be started in physical therapy to rehab your knee soon after the injury. Grade 3 injuries might require a longer period of bracing and in some instances a grade 3 complete MCL tear might require surgery to repair the tear. Recovery ...
The medial collateral ligament (or MCL for short) connects the thigh bone (or femur) to the shin bone (or tibia) on the inside of the knee. It prevents your knee joint from moving sideways, particularly from forces on the outside of the knee. A deep section of ligament which attaches to the cartilage and capsule in the knee.
The symptoms of an MCL injury may include:
Sprain of medial collateral ligament of knee ICD-10-CM S83. 411A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 562 Fracture, sprain, strain and dislocation except femur, hip, pelvis and thigh with mcc.
The tibial collateral ligament is also known as the medial collateral ligament (Video) or MCL. It is a ligament located along the inside of your knee that connects the femur (thighbone) to your tibia (shinbone). The knee relies on ligaments, which connect bone to bone, and surrounding muscles for stability.
The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is one of four ligaments that keep the knee joint stable. The MCL spans the distance from the end of the femur (thigh bone) to the top of the tibia (shin bone) and is on the inner side of the knee joint.
Condition: The medial and lateral collateral ligaments (MCL and LCL) are bands of tissue that connect the thigh bone to lower leg bones at the knee and help stabilize the knee. The MCL is on the inner side of the knee, while the LCL is on the outer side of the knee.
The medial collateral ligament (MCL), or tibial collateral ligament (TCL), is one of the four major ligaments of the knee. It is on the medial (inner) side of the knee joint in humans and other primates.
What Is the Medial Collateral Ligament? The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is one of the ligaments in the knee joint. A ligament is a tough, flexible band of tissue that holds bones and cartilage together. The MCL is on the part of the knee closest to the other knee (the "medial" side).
The ACL and the MCL are both ligaments in your knee. Both support and stabilize the knee. ACL is the anterior cruciate ligament that keeps your shinbone from sliding forward. MCL is the medial collateral ligament that prevents your femur from sliding from side to side.
The medial collateral ligament, which is also known as the tibial collateral ligament, is a broad, flat, bandlike ligament that runs from the medial condyle of the femur to the medial aspect of the shaft of the tibia, where it attaches just above the groove where the semimembranosus muscle attaches (Fig. 107.2).
Knee ligaments are bands of tissue that connect the thigh bone in the upper leg to the lower leg bones. There are four major ligaments in the knee: ACL, PCL, MCL and LCL. Injuries to the knee ligaments are common, especially in athletes.
The collateral ligaments of the knee are located on the outside part of your knee joint. They help connect the bones of your upper and lower leg, around your knee joint. The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) runs on the outer side of your knee. The medial collateral ligament (MCL) runs along the inside of your knee.
The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is on the inside. It connects the femur to the tibia. The lateral collateral ligament (LCL) is on the outside. It connects the femur to the fibula (the smaller bone in the lower leg).
The lateral collateral ligament consists of three ligaments: the anterior talofibular ligament, the posterior talofibular ligament, and the calcaneofibular ligament.

Use secondary code (s) from Chapter 20, External causes of morbidity, to indicate cause of injury. Codes within the T section that include the external cause do not require an additional external cause code.
