Abstract:
Treatment of multiple-ligament knee injuries is complex and complicated. Surgeons should strive to keep their operative times under 5 hours, limit inside-out meniscal repair, consider fibular-based only posterolateral corner reconstructions (except in cases with associated proximal tibia-fibular joint injuries or massive posterolateral corner injuries), avoid acute surgery when possible, and proceed cautiously with ultra-low-velocity dislocations. Multiple-ligament knee injury reconstruction is challenging and complicated but a sincere thank you is extended to those surgeons who take on complex knee surgery.
