A member asked:
I had a mcl repair with acl reconstruction. is it possible that the repair of the mcl will still bend with valgus test but be functionally fine?

MCL /ACL: When both r repaired you have the best chance for a good functional recovery. One should not overly "tighten " MCL repair so u may still have slight amt of knee opening medically with a valgus force

It's possible.: But your valgus stress stress should be pretty normal after an MCL repair.
