The valgus stress test checks for MCL stability. For example the athlete's leg at full extension, the examiner presses laterally at the knee, while holding the leg at the ankle. Increased movement may be indication of MCL damage.

Acute injuries should be treated with PRICE (protection, rest, ice, compression, and elevation). Protection may require a protective wrap, brace, or crunches. Once the acute phase passes, rehabilitation may proceed. Gentle active and passive range of motion, such as bending and extending the knee, can be performed in pain-free ranges. Avoid valgus and twisting forces. Once the knee obtains 110-115 degrees of flexion cycling may be initiated. Once the knee has full range of motion and strength back it will be the physician to release the patient.

A blow to the outside of the knee or a high-energy twisting maneuver are common case of  MCL injuries. These forces result in stretching and a valgus force on the medial tibiofemoral joint, which can damage this ligament.

Tenderness may be located on the MCL at the joint line, or on either of its bony attachment sites onto the tibia or femur.

Where do they feel a pop?

Where is their pain?

What do they have difficulty doing after that happens?

Can they straighten their leg after that happens?

Most often these injuries are contact injuries....but can this occur from a non-contact mechanism?
