This article details an international expert consensus aimed at standardizing the management of multiligament knee injuries (MLKI), which involve tearing at least two major ligaments.

Utilizing a Delphi methodology, a panel of 39 specialists established formal agreements on nomenclature, defining MLKI distinctly from simple knee dislocations to improve clinical communication.

The sources advocate for specific diagnostic protocols, emphasizing the necessity of MRI and a low threshold for CT angiography to identify potential vascular damage.

Regarding treatment, the experts generally favor operative intervention and single-stage surgery to facilitate faster recovery, particularly in younger patients.

Finally, the text identifies future research priorities, such as creating a multicentre registry and universal outcome measures to address the current lack of high-quality, standardized data.
