It is best to avoid walking with a medial collateral ligament (MCL) tear. Recovery typically takes one to two months. If the injury is not particularly severe, anti-inflammatory medications may facilitate recovery within approximately one month. For more accurate and timely diagnosis, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is recommended. Once an MCL tear is confirmed, surgical repair is advised, as it generally yields superior outcomes.
