Treatment. On average, it takes six weeks for a MCL injury to heal. The initial treatment for most grade 1, 2 or 3 MCL tears focuses on reducing the pain and inflammation in the knee while immobilizing the knee to keep it stabilized.
The surgeon will make holes in the patientâs bones to run the tissue through, and the tissue serves as the patientâs new ACL. Recovery time ranges between 1-2 years or longer. Tearing the anterior cruciate ligament can sometimes be part of a knee injury known as â the terrible triad â. This consists of the simultaneous tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and medial meniscus.
