Three Main Combined Lesions: Medial meniscus ramp lesion Lateral meniscus root tear Anterolateral ligament/complex injury Definition of Ramp Lesion: Disruption of the peripheral meniscocapsular attachment of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus.

Direct blows and deceleration forces can lead to ligamentous ruptures and cruciate ligament injuries; Noncontact actions like sharp turns or stops can sprain or rupture the ACL; A knee hitting a vehicle dashboard stresses the PCL. Lateral or medial forces typically result in collateral ligament damage.

Measurement and Diagnosis of Instability Current clinical tests (Lachman, Pivot Shift) lack objective quantification. Improving ACL Reconstruction Outcomes Role of Anterolateral Ligament (ALL) in rotational stability remains controversial. Conflicting studies: 2020 study suggests reduced rupture risk in revision cases.
