Complex ligament injuries can compromise a knee joint and residual conditions comprise stiffness (arthrofibrosis), instability, cartilage damage leading to osteoarthritis and bone deformity. Accurate diagnosis must address the direction and extent of the instability, the severity of any cartilage lesion and an analysis of the axis and bone deformity as well as important cofactors. Therapeutic options are adhesiolysis, ligament reconstruction, cartilage regeneration and axis correction. As a consequence patients mostly profit from the procedure but there is never a return to the functional level that existed before injury.
