Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL)
MCL Injury & Surgery Care by Dr. Harsha G N
Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) injuries involve damage to the ligament located on the inner side of the knee, which plays a vital role in maintaining knee stability. These injuries are commonly caused by a direct blow to the outer knee, sudden twisting movements, or sports-related trauma.
While many MCL injuries heal with conservative treatment, surgery may be required in severe or combined ligament injuries. Advanced treatment approaches aim to restore knee stability, reduce pain, and help patients return to their normal activities safely.
When to Consider MCL Surgery
- Persistent knee pain or instability despite conservative care
- Severe (Grade III) MCL tears
- Combined ligament injuries involving ACL or PCL
- Difficulty returning to sports or daily activities
Advantages of MCL Surgery
- Restores medial knee stability
- Prevents long-term joint degeneration
- Improves knee strength and functional movement
- Enables safe return to sports and active lifestyle
Post-treatment rehabilitation is essential for recovery after MCL surgery. A structured physiotherapy program focuses on improving knee strength, flexibility, and stability, ensuring optimal healing and long-term joint health.

My first operation ever (hopefully the last). The experience in the Operation Theatre was mind blowing. DK sir, all docs, and supporting staff were extremely cool right from the time I got into the Operation Theatre. I had to get my Ankle operated (2 fractures). I felt I was in safe hands throughout.

We have known Dr.Harsha for 2 years now. Had consulted him for my mother in law arthritis treatment. Recently visited him for my mother in law’s arm fracture. He provided us with the best course of treatment considering all the other health factors. Always seen him as a very humble person, provides knowledgable care and takes time to address all our doubts and fears. Good doctors like Dr.Harsha replace the fear of illness with trust in recovery. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a good orthopaedic advice and treatment. I am really grateful for your exceptional care and dedication to patient well being.
