Hi
Thanks for trusting healthcaremagic for your health issues.
MCL grade 2 generally does not require surgical interventions except there is persistence feeling of instability in knee joint. You should wear knee sleeves / braces whichever you are comfortable for 2-3 months while walking. Usually these type of injuries heal within 2-3 months. Even if you feel instability in your knee joint while walking, surgical intervention will be necessary.
