Usually if you are getting surgery for a knee ligament these days, it's for the ACL. PCL and LCL injuries are usually treated conservatively, although some do require surgery. Where I work, it is almost unheard of to have an MCL repaired by surgery. Even in grade III very bad tears, MCL's are often left alone to heal with therapy and conservative measures. The only time I've ever even heard of MCL work is in conjuction with ACL/medial meniscus "unhappy triad" situations.

Spot on about everything else. Tear is the appropriate term.

p.s. Comment system boss wins again!
