Retrospective video analysis identifies injury mechanisms in multi-ligament knee injuries, suggesting direct contact plays a major role.

Most multi-ligament knee injuries occur from direct contact (80%), indicating a critical need for protective measures.
The most common types of injuries are to the anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament (65%), revealing vulnerability in these areas.
