The ligament injury pattern and the side of the injured collateral ligament influenced the incidence and laterality of meniscal damage. ACL + medial-side injuries were shown to have significantly greater meniscal damage compared to other injury patterns. It is crucial to have a high index of suspicion, obtain a high-quality MRI, and arthroscopically evaluate any possible meniscal lesions in MLKIs.
