Abstract

Acute anterior cruciate ligament deficiency combined with simultaneous locked bucket-handle tears of both medial and lateral menisci have rarely been observed. This case report describes the first case of such a combined knee injury in an athlete including injury mechanism, clinical symptoms, specific signs on MRI, and treatment options.
