Experiencing Knee Pain?
Get expert relief — we'll call you to schedule
Knee ligament repair is not one procedure. The right operation depends on which ligament is injured, where it tore, whether the tissue can hold sutures, and whether other structures were damaged. MCL, LCL, posterolateral corner, PCL, and combined ligament injuries each create different instability patterns.
Some collateral ligament tears can heal with bracing and time. Others require repair to the attachment site or reconstruction with graft tissue, especially when the knee opens abnormally with stress, instability persists, or the injury is part of a multi-ligament knee trauma. Mountain Spine & Orthopedics uses exam findings, stress testing, X-rays, and MRI to determine whether non-surgical care, repair, reconstruction, or staged treatment is appropriate.

Recovery from knee ligament repair or reconstruction depends on the injured ligament, tissue quality, whether graft reconstruction was needed, and whether meniscus, cartilage, ACL, PCL, or fracture treatment was performed at the same time.
Protection phase: Bracing, swelling control, protected weight-bearing, and controlled motion protect the repair or graft.
Strength phase: Weight-bearing and strengthening progress as stability and healing allow.
Return-to-activity phase: Sport and work clearance is based on stability, strength, motion, pain, swelling response, and surgeon guidance rather than a fixed date.
