The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is one of the four major ligaments in your knee. Located on the inside of the joint, it connects your femur (thigh bone) to your tibia (shin bone), helping provide stability and minimizing stress across the knee.

MCL injuries often occur after a blow to the outside of the knee and can range from mild sprains to complete tears. Because the ligament heals slowly, proper evaluation and treatment are key to recovery.

👉 If you’re experiencing knee pain after an injury, schedule a consultation with Dr. Robin Fuchs, fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon in Kirkland, WA. Call (425) 823-4000 or request an appointment online.
