Hi. I am sports consultant and arthroscopic surgeon for past 5 years. I have seen around 30-35 of these cases till now. Here the issues are of 2 ligaments ACL and MCL. MCL is a broad structure and depending on which side it's torn decides its treatment. If it's from thigh bone then we need to apply cast and no weight bearing walking for 6 weeks. This will heal the Ligament. If from the leg bone then we need to repair it to get better outcomes. ACL will need surgery but after MCL heals up and you have good knee Range of motion. And in any case no ift, no usg, and absolutely no hot water as it will increase inflammation. You can apply cold pack to reduce the inflammation and swelling. Please feel free to contact me and i can answer your questions more properly.
