MCL (Medical Collateral Ligament Tear)
This type of ligament tear is often seen in football and hockey players who have sustained a hard impact to the outside of the knee. When damaged, the MCL will often produce a popping sensation, pain, and swelling. Although the MCL often heals without surgery, a period of physical therapy can help restore knee function more reliably.
