6-12 weeks: An mcl typically takes 6-12 weeks to heal, depending on severity. It pretty much heals on its own over time without specific treatments. There is seldom a role for any kind if surgical interventions.

Mcl knee injury: Length of recovery time depends upon whether there are other associated structural injuries. Isolated grade 1 or 2 MCL tears r treated effectively non operatively , typically recovering fully within 6- 10 weeks. Surgical MCL repairs of grade 3 tears will take 10-16 weeks. If patient also has injured their Acl or post lateral corner recovery will take 4-6 months,
