Beschreibung
Multi-ligament knee injury is the state of having two or more of the major knee ligaments, namely: the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), the medial collateral ligament (MCL), the lateral collateral ligament (LCL), the posteriomedial corner (PMC), and the posteriolateral corner (PLC). The knee is a hinge joint; this dictates two direction movements on the y-axis plane. The knee joints carries weight load of the body in a unique manner.The role of the knee ligaments is not conserved only to maintain knee in rigid position while standing, but also orchestrates the biomechanics of knee motion in a harmony. Multi-ligament knee injury is very rare (incidence <10:10,000 of trauma cases)Patients with multiple ligaments injuries of the knee become disabled for a long period. This disability rises from the pain and stiffness of the knee joint. A disability that might be associated with increased frequencies of sick leave from work, or much more dire consequences, such as quitting job or being relieved of duty.
