A different unhappy triad in the knee: a case of acute simultaneous rupture of Patellar Tendon, Anterior Cruciate Ligament and lateral meniscus treated in one stage and review of literature.

ABSTRACT
- We present a case report of a 43-year-old male patient with simultaneous ruptured of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), patellar tendon (PT) and lateral meniscus tear, occurred during a tennis match. This combinate tear is not frequent, and literature reports only few cases. Clinical diagnosis can be difficult and the support of MRI and X-Ray is needed. Surgery was performed within seven days from injury in a one-step fashion. Clinical and radiological outcome treatment was successful.
