2 ACL reconstructions and 1 scope torn meniscus removal here too. How you did it is the best indication of what exactly is injured. MCL injuries most commonly occur as a result of impact to the outside of the knee, like a football player getting hit on the outside of the knee and tend to heal on their own or can be surgically repaired with minimum invasiveness. Worst case scenario would be that you damaged your ACL which usually occurs as a result of twisting or a fast stop and go cutting movement. I've had lots of experience with doctors and my knees and the best advise I can offer is that nobody except for a good orthopedic surgeon can tell you for sure. If you're going to make an appointment tomorrow, I would say either make it with an orthopedic surgeon or don't make one at all. Good luck man.
