Table 3:
A comparison of patient-reported outcomes as a function of MCL tear location: proximal (femoral sided) versus distal (tibial sided) injuries. KOOS ADL, sports/recreation and KRQOL subscales were significantly lower for distal MCL tears at the time of study enrollment. At 2-year follow-up, no clinically important differences in outcome were evident.
