Softball vs LSU-E

Most MCL injuries are 3-6 week rehab before return to sport, this ligament has a blood supply and will heal itself most times without surgery. She should be 100% when they return from semester break.

I got word she will be good to go for the spring. Sam is my pick for this years breakout star if she stays healthy.

We have got at least a couple of “Sam’s” on this team who are very impressive . . .

Whoever gave you word might want to let the softball medical staff and coaches know, because they do not know at this point if she will be available.

I think that came from the RPMA(Ragin Pagin Medical Association).

“Samantha Graeter tore her MCL but will try to forego surgery using rehab. Her incident happened in a "run down" at practice. She is on crutches”

How often is rehab successful as opposed to surgery. I get the time thing, but whenever I hear rehab instead of surgery it seems to be a failure.

As someone who has had multiple MCL issues. The MCL does not require surgery. The MCL is surrounded by tissue and will heal itself but takes some time. The ACL and PCL are different stories. MCL is usually 6-8 week recovery. No surgery needed.
