Abstract
We report a case of simultaneous rupture of the ligamentum patellae, medial collateral, and anterior cruciate ligaments. The full extent of the injury was not recognized on clinical examination. Although this is a rare combination of injuries, the integrity of the extensor mechanism should always be confirmed in knee injuries.
