Abstract
Injuries involving the anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate, and medial collateral ligaments represent one combination of injuries representing knee dislocation. Prompt reduction and neurovascular evaluation are necessary when treating these injuries. Operative management involving reconstruction and repair of the injured structures produces optimal results. This article outlines the principles involved in evaluating and managing these injuries, combined with specifics of the authors' treatment approach, and review of the literature.Mesh:
