Patterns of meniscal tears in multiligament knee injuries with and without dislocation: a retrospective study from a Level I trauma center

Key Points

• Meniscal tears are significant in multiligament knee injuries, with differences observed based on dislocation status.
• Among 200 patients analyzed, 65% had meniscal tears in cases with knee dislocation.
• Retrospective study performed at a Level I trauma center to explore injury patterns and outcomes.
• Importance of understanding these patterns to improve treatment approaches for complex knee injuries.
