If the site of injury is MCL or medial collateral ligament and LCL or lateral collateral ligament, then you need a medial-lateral hinged knee brace that can provide the required support. If the site of injury is ACL or anterior cruciate ligament or in case, there is an injury in LCL or MCL, but the support isn’t well enough with sleeve-hinge knee support, then it is better to go for a rigid frame brace which stops the movement of shin bone or tibia.
