If Instability still persists after 2 months please go for  ACL Reconstruction operation. MCL ligament will scar up and tighten on its own

Mri is showing combination of bony as well as soft tissue injuries. MCL sprain can be manage with brace and gradual mobilisation. Other things can also be managed by similar protocol. If we find significant instability in ACL or mcl then this can be managed with surgical reconstruction. Please make a visit to hospital for detailed clinical examination
