  Multi-Ligament Knee Injury A complex knee injury is a situation where multiple ligaments in the knee have been damaged. The knee contains several major ligaments, including the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), and lateral collateral ligament (LCL). When two or more of these ligaments are injured simultaneously, it's often associated with knee dislocations. Multi-ligament injuries are relatively uncommon and typically occur due to severe accidents, traumatic sporting falls, or high-impact events. Treating complex knee injuries and performing multi-ligament knee surgery is a highly intricate process. To achieve the best results, it's essential to consult with a knee specialist who specializes in complex knee surgeries.

The most frequent cause is technical issues during the initial surgery. The precision required in ACL reconstruction is well-known, and surgeons with more experience tend to achieve better outcomes. Misplaced graft reconstruction tunnels, whether too posterior on the tibia or too anterior on the femur, are still common culprits for failure. Another prevalent reason is untreated secondary instabilities. These could involve injuries to the posterolateral corner, meniscal root detachment, or the absence of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. These factors, along with others like an unnoticed PCL injury, medial knee issues, or alignment problems in patients with arthritis, contribute to ACL reconstruction failures. Consequently, a comprehensive evaluation of secondary knee restraints and the ...
