Abstract
Multiligamentous knee injury (MLKI) is a difficult and devastating injury of the knee. These injuries are not so common. Anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament concomitant with patellar tendon tear is even rarer combination. To best of our knowledge, only few such cases with similar injury pattern have been reported in the literature. We report two such cases & highlight the mechanism, treatment and modified rehabilitation protocol. In acute setting, diagnosis may be difficult due to gross soft tissue swelling. Magnetic resonance imaging is an important diagnostic tool to know the extent and site of ligament tears & to avoid misdiagnosis. Simultaneous repair or reconstruction of all the structures in the grossly unstable knee with modified rehabilitation protocol can be performed to obtain optimal functional outcomes.
