How is an MCL Tear/Injury Treated?
The overwhelming majority of MCL tears/injuries heal on their own after several weeks of nonsurgical treatment. All of the following are usually included in a customized OIBO treatment plan:
Rest, ice and medications
Immobilization
Physical therapy
Complete MCL tears may require surgical intervention. During an MCL repair, one of our specialists uses sutures to reattach torn ends of the MCL. Physical therapy is prescribed after surgery to help patients regain strength and flexibility. To schedule your appointment with one of our specialists, call our practice or visit our contact page.
