My MRI report- -Grade I sprain of anterior cruciate ligament with fraying of few fibers at the femoral attachment, otherwise intact. No discrete tear /anterior tibial translation. PCL is intact. • Grade I signal in body and posterior horn of medial meniscus with intact root attachment. No discrete tear. • Lateral meniscus is unremarkable with intact root attachment. • Near Jull thickness tear of medial collateral ligament is seen at femoral attachment site with few intact posterior fibers. The torn fibers of medial collateral ligament have retracted by approximately 1.5 cm and are lying along medial femoral condyle. Tibial attachment of medial collateral ligament is intact. • Grade I sprain of lateral collateral ligament at femoral attachment site with fraying of few fibers, otherwise intact. Grade I strain of popliteus tendon at femoral attachment site with fraying of few fibers, otherwise intact. • Mild fluid in knee joint with extension to suprapatellar bursa

Near full thickness tear of your MCL ligament warrants examination and repair/reconstruction.. Deficiency of MCL would put a strain on existing sprained ligaments..So avoid walking on the MCL deficient knee to prevent further damage.. If your knee is protected well..The other injuries should heal well.
Next Steps
consultation with Orthopaedic surgeon for clinical examination..
