Summary

Multi-ligament knee injuries (MLKI) are devastating injuries. They are defined as injuries to at least two of the four major ligaments in the knee: anterior cruciate ligament, posterior cruciate ligament, lateral collateral ligament (and posterolateral corner) and medial collateral ligament (and posteromedial corner). These injuries are commonly classified using the Schenck classification system. The incidence of these injuries has been reported to be around 0.02-0.20% of all orthopaedic injuries. However, this is likely to be an underestimation due to spontaneous knee reduction and missed injuries. The immediate management of these injuries is crucial in identifying and treating any vascular and nerve injury. The literature has shown poor outcome and residual instability in those who were treated non-operatively. However, the optimal surgical treatment for these injuries is not known, with differences in opinion amongst treating clinicians. There are controversies in the timing of surgery (early versus delayed), single-staged or two-staged procedures and whether the damaged ligaments should be repaired or reconstructed
