Investigating the Ligament Involvement in High-Energy and Polytraumatic Multiligament Knee Injuries Compared With Low-Energy or Isolated Injuries
PT and HE MLKIs are characterized by increased rates of PCL and LCL injuries compared with LE and NPT. HE and PT patients experience more injured ligaments than LE and NPT and are more likely to require reconstruction/repair of the LCL. These findings suggest injury severity and mechanism may facilitate clinical decision making in MLKIs.
