MCL Reconstruction
MCL Reconstruction – Restore Medial Knee Stability with Expert Care
The Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) is one of the key stabilizing ligaments on the inner side of the knee. It helps resist valgus stress and maintains normal knee alignment. MCL injuries are common in contact sports or twisting movements and, when severe or chronic, may require surgical reconstruction. Dr. Gautam Kodikal offers advanced MCL reconstruction techniques to restore stability, reduce pain, and get you back to active life.
When is MCL Reconstruction Needed?
MCL injuries are often treated conservatively, but surgical reconstruction is recommended in:
-
Grade III MCL tears with persistent instability
-
Combined ligament injuries (e.g., ACL + MCL)
-
Chronic or failed non-surgical treatment with instability
-
Recurrent valgus instability affecting daily function or sport
