The inclusion criteria included studies reporting on human subjects undergoing ACLR + MCLR with injury mechanism, tear characteristics, surgical technique, graft types used for reconstruction, complications, and postoperative outcomes.

The weighted mean patient age was 32.9 years (range, 14-74 years), and 68.4% (n = 471\/689) of patients were men. Sports-related traumatic knee injuries accounted for 51.3% (n = 309\/602) of injuries, while motor vehicular accidents comprised 12.1% (n = 73\/602). Reported indications for MCLR in the setting of ACL injury were chronic (\u22656 weeks) valgus knee laxity despite nonoperative management (81.5%, n = 667\/818) and grade 3 MCL injury (22.2%, n = 182\/818). Autografts were utilized in 69.7% (n = 265\/380) of ACLR and 61.1% (n = 140\/262) of MCLR procedures, while anterior tibialis allografts (28.4%; n = 108\/380) and hamstring tendon autografts (53.4%; n = 140\/262) were the most frequently reported graft types in ACLR and MCLR, respectively. Complications were reported in 14 cases, including persistent medial knee pain (n = 7) and reconstruction failure (MCLR, n = 1; ACLR, n = 2). Mean Lysholm scores improved from 55.9 to 87.6, while mean Tegner and subjective International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) scores improved from 3.1 to 4.8 and 46.5 to 88.5, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our review revealed that concomitant ACLR + MCLR is most commonly performed for injuries sustained during pivoting sports, which result in persistent valgus laxity. Autografts were used in 70% of ACLR and 61% of MCLR procedures. Improvements in Lysholm, Tegner, and IKDC scores were noted in the majority of patients with a low incidence of complications (7.9%) and reconstruction failures (1.7%). These findings may enhance the understanding of proper surgical indications and methodology, thereby optimizing treatments and postoperative outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23259671251369019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,17]],"date-time":"2025-09-17T11:00:17Z","timestamp":1758106817000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Concomitant Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9558-8147","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel C.","family":"Touhey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francisco N.","family":"Garcia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sina","family":"Tartibi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2912-8265","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert H.","family":"Brophy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew J.","family":"Matava","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew V.","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Derrick M.","family":"Knapik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Washington University School of Medicine, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,17]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"e_1_3_4_2_2","first-page":"507","article-title":"Minimally invasive reconstruction of the medial collateral ligament of the knee","volume":"10","author":"Abulsoud MI","year":"2022","unstructured":"Abulsoud MI, Elzahed EA, Moawad M, et al.
