The MCL, or medial collateral ligament, runs along the inside of the knee connecting the tibia bone (shin bone) to the femur bone (thigh bone). A sprain or tear to the MCL is usually caused by an injury that pushes the knee to the side, causing pain on the inside of the knee, swelling, and a feeling of instability in the knee.
