title: Complications associated with treatment of multiple ligament injured (dislocated) knee.
abstract: Multiple ligament injured knee is a heterogenous group of injuries, which remains a challenging entity for physicians to manage. Complications that are associated with this severe injury can occur from the injury itself or can arise from emergency or definitive treatment. The development of these complications can alter management options and compromise patient outcomes.
