Medial collateral ligament injury

Medial collateral ligament injury

A second degree injury is a partial tear with no firm endpoint when the joint is stressed, and a third degree is a complete tear of the ligament. A physical examination will be done to test the extent of damage.  Some other tests may include an MRI or joint X-ray.
