Abstract EN

Bilateral knee dislocations are rare musculoskeletal injuries.

We report a case of a patient who sustained traumatic bilateral knee dislocations resulting in multiligamentous injuries to both knees.

The patient subsequently underwent acute ligamentous reconstructions of both knees performed at 2 weeks and 3 weeks after the initial injury.

One year after these procedures, the patient has achieved excellent functional outcomes and has returned to recreational sports.
