A member asked:
How can you tell if you strained your acl or mcl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ACL or MCL: These two injuries are often associated with trauma. A tear or strain to these ligaments will present with instability and swelling. While mcl tears usually heal on their own, acl tears have a different blood supply and often require surgery for a complete recovery.
