In terms of conservative treatment, patients may elect injection therapy or laser therapy. To prevent additional damage and stabilize the knee joint, patients may also use a cast or brace to immobilize the injured area for an extended period of time. When the pain and swelling subsides, patients may commence their rehabilitation.
However, when an MCL tear is accompanied by another structural injury in the knee joint, patients must receive surgical treatment to repair their knee.

If conservative treatment proves to be ineffective in reducing the stability of the injured knee, or if the tear is severe, patients should consider surgical treatments such as a ligament repair or reconstruction.
Once the surgical procedures are complete, it is important to rehabilitate the knee gradually with joint articulation and weight transfer exercises. This can help prevent joint adhesion following the surgery. Also, patients are recommended to wear a brace for three or more months after their surgery.
