These procedures restore medial knee stability, reduce pain, and help patients safely return to daily activities and athletic performance.

What is MCL Repair and Reconstruction?

MCL repair and reconstruction is a surgical procedure to fix or replace the medial collateral ligament, which stabilizes the inner side of the knee. Repair involves suturing the torn ligament, while reconstruction uses a graft (from the patient or donor) to replace the damaged ligament. The procedure restores knee stability, improves mobility, and protects the joint from future injuries.

Benefits of MCL Repair and Reconstruction

MCL repair and reconstruction provides several benefits for patients with medial knee injuries. By restoring ligament stability and strength, patients experience improved knee function, reduced pain, and enhanced long-term joint health. Key benefits include:

Restores medial knee stability and prevents further ligament injury.
Reduces pain and swelling associated with MCL injuries.
Enables safe return to sports, exercise, and daily physical activities.
Improves long-term knee function, mobility, and confidence in joint stability.
Advanced surgical techniques minimize tissue damage and promote faster rehabilitation.
