A member asked:
What can i do for my knee ligament injuries (acl, mcl, pcl) to make the surround areas stronger?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Strengthen the surrounding muscles of the knee as well as you can. This will help keep the injured ligaments in place due to the increased muscle tone surround the knee. Obviously, the older you are , the harder and longer this may take. See your orthopedist and physical therapists for more help.
