What is MCL/PCL/LCL Repair? (1)
The knee ligaments attach the femur (leg bone) to the tibia (shin bone) and are very important because they stabilize the knee and help it perform movements necessary for normal day-to-day living. The ACL is the most well-known ligament because it is commonly injured during sports and physical activities. The other three knee ligaments are:
Medial collateral ligament (MCL)
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
Lateral collateral ligament (LCL)
A ligament tear is a serious injury that requires medical attention. Nonsurgical treatment options may treat some partial tears. A ligament repair is usually recommended for a complete tear.
