The anterior cruciate ligament in the multiple ligament-injured knee

Clin Sports Med. 1993 Oct;12(4):825-38.

Abstract

The ACL may be associated with concomitant injury to the posterior cruciate ligament, collateral structures, bone or cartilage. An approach to the multiligament injured knee is discussed including evaluation, treatment, graft selection, operative techniques, graft placement, tensioning, fixation, impingement, postoperative care, and complications.
