Medial collateral ligament

Ligamentum collaterale tibiale

In Review

A broad flat ligament on the inner side of the knee that resists the knee buckling inward. Unlike the cruciates it has a good blood supply and a strong tendency to heal, which is why many MCL sprains are managed without surgery.

Also known as

  • mcl
  • tibial collateral ligament
  • inner knee ligament
