The knee is a hinge joint; this dictates two direction movements on the y-axis plane. The knee joints carries weight load of the body in a unique manner.The role of the knee ligaments is not conserved only to maintain knee in rigid position while standing, but also orchestrates the biomechanics of knee motion in a harmony. Multi-ligament knee injury is very rare (incidence <10:10,000 of trauma cases)Patients with multiple ligaments injuries of the knee become disabled for a long period. This disability rises from the pain and stiffness of the knee joint. A disability that might be associated with increased frequencies of sick leave from work, or much more dire consequences, such as quitting job or being relieved of duty.
