Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of minimally invasive surgical treatment for multiple ligament injury by stages. Methods From January 2009 to May 2010, 20 patients with multiple ligament injuries were treated by stages in Guangzhou General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Command. Therapeutic effects were evaluated by Lysholm knee function score and IKDC 2000 score. Results All patients were followed up for an average of 15 months (12-36 months). Lysholm knee functional score was improved from preoperative 26 ± 5 to postoperative 94 ± 5 (t = 44.270,P = 0.000);According to IKDC 2000 scoring, there were A grade in 12 cases, B grade in 6 cases and C grade in 2 cases at 6 month's follow-up, while there was D grade in all 20 patients before the operation. Conclusion With good understanding of surgical timing, ligament repair and reconstruction by stages could achieve good efficacy for multiple ligament injury because it is beneficial to the recovery of joint function.
