The MCL and LCL which are on the outside of the knee can repair themselves with therapy and treatment. That prognosis scared me. I hope it is just his LCL and not his ACL being partially torn as previously speculated.
Requoting Skinzwin here so you can read what he posted. Sounds to me like it is a good thing?
