Course Description:
This ICL features an expert panel that will present an evidence-based approach to current controversies in the management of multi-ligamentous knee injuries (MLKI), including preoperative planning, surgical technique and rehabilitation, to minimize complications and optimize patient outcomes. Common causes for failure and special considerations in the revision setting will be highlighted. Latest updates on ongoing multicenter clinical trials will be provided. A significant proportion of this ICL will be dedicated to an interactive case-based discussion to emphasize key points and ample time will be allocated to answer audience questions.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand preoperative planning for MLKI, include surgical timing and approaching neurovascular deficits.
• Optimize surgical technique, including graft selection, tunnel placement, and tensioning sequence.
• Discuss latest data on clinical outcomes and return to sport.
• Understand common causes for MLKI surgery failure and how to avoid them.
• Understand special considerations in the revision or chronic MLKI setting.
