Complex Knee Injuries
Complex Knee Injuries:
When there is concern about a potential multi-ligament knee injury, it becomes essential to assess four primary ligament areas of the knee for potential damage. Within these regions, there may be multiple bundles or structures that require careful evaluation and, if necessary, reconstruction.
For in-depth insights into the assessment and management of knee ligament injuries, including details about these key ligament areas and the intricacies of potential reconstruction. Dr. Raviteja and the dedicated team provide expert guidance to ensure a thorough understanding and effective management of knee ligament injuries.
Complex Of Knee Types and Their Impact on the Knee:
When investigating potential multi-ligament knee injuries, it is crucial to assess four primary ligament areas within the knee: the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), posterolateral knee, and medial knee (MCL). Within these areas, there may be various bundles or structures that require thorough evaluation and, if necessary, reconstruction.
Complex of Knee:
The knee’s ligaments work cohesively to maintain overall stability in the joint. Opting for reconstruction of only a segment of the injured knee heightens the risk of future stretching of the reconstructed ligament. In the majority of cases, Dr. Raviteja recommends a comprehensive approach by advocating for multiple ligament reconstruction in a single setting.
Treatment for Knee Ligament Injuries:
Our meticulously designed multi-ligament reconstruction procedure is characterized by efficiency and a shorter duration. This streamlined process is made possible by our specialized surgical team, experts in the treatment of complex knee injuries. As a result, these surgeries are conducted with precision, ensuring a timely completion and sparing patients the need for two extensive surgeries spread over several months.
We emphasize the importance of consolidating all components of multi-ligament knee reconstructions into a single setting. This approach not only promotes efficiency but also enables patients to swiftly progress with their rehabilitation, facilitating a quicker return to their normal daily activities.

Symptoms and Causes:
Osteoarthritis of the knee occurs when the cartilage in the knee joint undergoes wear and tear or sustains damage. This resilient, rubbery tissue, known as articular cartilage, covers the ends of your bones, facilitating smooth bending and movement. Similar to a car’s shock absorber protecting it from bumps, the meniscal cartilage in your knee absorbs shock from pressure.
Several factors contribute to the breakdown or damage of knee joint cartilage, including:
Weight-related factors: Individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher are seven times more likely to develop knee osteoarthritis.
Knee injuries: Past or recent injuries to the knee can increase the risk of osteoarthritis.
Repetitive stress: Regularly subjecting your knee to stress, whether through occupational activities or sports, can contribute to cartilage wear and tear.
Genetic predisposition: Inherited tendencies can make individuals more susceptible to developing osteoarthritis of the knee.
Structural factors: Having crooked bones or joints, such as knocked knees, can impact the distribution of stress on the knee joint, potentially leading to osteoarthritis.
