Knee dislocations are severe orthopedic injuries often associated with multiple ligament knee injuries (MLKIs). Various classification systems exist to categorize knee dislocations, including anatomical, mechanistic, and vascular classifications. However, the role of these classifications in guiding surgical decision-making remains unclear. This paper aims to evaluate whether classifications of knee dislocation effectively predict the surgical approach required for MLKIs. Through a review of existing literature and clinical data, we analyze correlations between dislocation classification and treatment strategies. We discuss the potential utility and limitations of current classification systems in surgical planning and propose recommendations for improved clinical decision-making.
