Classification | Scale of damage | Damaged structure |
|---|---|---|
Type A | 10° increase in external rotation of the tibia | PFL, popliteus tendon |
Type B | 10° increase in external rotation of the tibia | PFL, popliteus tendon |
Slight varus relaxation (5–10 mm increase in varus load test) | LCL | |
Type C | 10° increase in external rotation of the tibia | PFL, popliteus tendon |
Slight varus relaxation (> 10 mm increase in varus load test) | LCL, capsule avalusion, cruciate ligament |
