Treatment of Chronic Injuries to the Medial Side of the Knee.

The article focuses on the treatment of the chronic medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries of the knee. It is said that because of the modern-day ability of the orthopedists to notice acute medial injury and treat it, chronic MCL failure is less seen today. Accordingly, unaddressed combined injuries result to the failure of nonoperative or operative management and that primary repair with proper reconstruction can restore stability to the knee of the patients with chronic medial instability.
