ABSTRACT

Multiligament injuries of the knee joint are characterized by the involvement of two or more major ligaments, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), lateral collateral ligament (LCL), posteromedial corner (PMC) and posterolateral corner (PLC). Statistically, multiligament injuries are rare as they are found in less than 0.02% of all traumatic knee injuries; however, different aggregate injuries are what make this pathology a serious health and functional condition. Taking into account that most of the patients are young people of highly productive age, it is of vital importance to observe their short and long term evolution, as well as their reincorporation to their daily life. It has been reported that vascular lesions are present in approximately 32% of cases, meniscal lesions in 35% and up to 60% with some type of bone lesion. These injuries mainly affect the male sex most commonly between the third and fourth decade of life, which makes this type of injury of great importance, since this group of patients are in their greatest period of labor production. The main objective of the treatment of these injuries, in addition to resolving the aggregate damage that usually aggravates the state of health, is to achieve a speedy recovery and subsequent reincorporation to their work activities and in some cases sports.
