Schenck classification
The Schenck classification is a system of categorizing knee dislocations based on the pattern of multiligamentous injury. It is limited clinically by not describing the risk of neurovascular involvement.
Classification[]
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| I | Single ligament injury (ACL or PCL) |
| II | Injury to ACL and PCL |
| III | Injury to ACL, PCL, and either the LCL or MCL |
| *KD-III injuries are sub classified as KD-III-M or KD-III-L depending on whether the MCL or LCL/posterolateral corner are injured[1] | |
| IV | Injury to ACL, PCL, LCL and MCL |
| V | Multiligamentous injury with periarticular fracture |
