A grade III injury is a complete tear of the MCL. Patients have significant pain and swelling, and often have difficulty bending the knee. Instability, or giving out, is a common finding with grade III MCL tears. A knee brace or a knee immobilizer is usually needed for comfort, and healing may take 6 weeks or longer.
As with all ligament injuries, medial collateral ligament injuries are graded 1, 2 or 3 depending on the degree of damage sustained. A grade one tear consists of fewer than 10% of the fibres being torn. a grade 3 is a complete rupture and grade two sits inbetween!
