Multi-ligament knee injuries (MLKI) are serious and challenging to manage. This study aimed to elucidate the impact of surgical timing on both early and long-term outcomes following an MLKI.
A comprehensive search strategy was employed across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. Studies were identified using a combination of relevant keywords encompassing "multi-ligament knee injury," "knee dislocation," "reconstruction," "repair," "surgery," and "timing," and their synonyms, along with appropriate Boolean operators. Selection of articles (systematic reviews and meta-analyses) adhered to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Furthermore, a meta-analysis was conducted utilizing data extracted from primary studies.
Early surgery for MLKI demonstrated a significant advantage over delayed surgery, reflected by significantly higher Lysholm scores (Mean Difference [MD] 3.51; 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 1.79, 5.22), IKDC objective scores (Mantel-Haenszel Odds Ratio [MH-OR] 2.95; 95% CI 1.30, 6.69), Tegner activity scores (MD 0.38; 95% CI 0.08, 0.69), and Mayer's ratings (MH-OR 5.47; 95% CI 1.27, 23.56). In addition, we found a significantly reduced risk of secondary chondral lesions (MH-OR 0.33; 95% CI 0.23, 0.48), lower instrumented anterior tibial translation in the early surgery group (MD -0.92; 95% CI -1.83, -0.01), but no significant difference was observed in the secondary meniscal tears, between the two groups. However, the early surgery group also exhibited a significantly increased risk of knee stiffness (MH-OR 2.47; 95% CI 1.22, 5.01) and a greater likelihood of requiring manipulation under anaesthesia (MH-OR 3.91; 95% CI 1.10, 13.87).
Early surgery for MLKI improves function, and stability, and reduces further articular cartilage damage, but increases the risk of stiffness.

膝关节多韧带损伤(MLKI)病情严重,治疗颇具挑战性。本研究旨在阐明手术时机对MLKI术后早期及长期疗效的影响。
在PubMed、Scopus、科学网和考克兰图书馆进行全面检索。通过结合相关关键词(包括“膝关节多韧带损伤”“膝关节脱位”“重建”“修复”“手术”“时机”及其同义词)以及适当的布尔运算符来确定研究。文章(系统评价和荟萃分析)的选择遵循预定义的纳入和排除标准。此外,利用从原始研究中提取的数据进行荟萃分析。
MLKI早期手术相较于延迟手术显示出显著优势,表现为Lysholm评分显著更高(平均差[MD] 3.51;95%置信区间[CI] 1.79,5.22)、IKDC客观评分(曼特尔-亨塞尔优势比[MH-OR] 2.95;95% CI 1.30,6.69)、Tegner活动评分(MD 0.38;95% CI 0.08,0.69)和迈尔评分(MH-OR 5.47;95% CI 1.27,23.56)。此外,我们发现早期手术组继发软骨损伤的风险显著降低(MH-OR 0.33;95% CI 0.23,0.48),早期手术组仪器测量的胫骨前移更低(MD -0.92;95% CI -1.83,-0.01),但两组之间继发半月板撕裂无显著差异。然而,早期手术组膝关节僵硬的风险也显著增加(MH-OR 2.47;95% CI 1.22,5.01),且在麻醉下需要手法治疗的可能性更大(MH-OR 3.91;95% CI 1.10,13.87)。
MLKI早期手术可改善功能和稳定性,并减少进一步的关节软骨损伤,但会增加僵硬的风险。
