Extensor Mechanism Disruption with Multiligamentous Knee Injury from Bouldering.

Extensor mechanism injuries and multiligamentous knee injuries are rare and typically are caused by high-energy injury mechanisms. We present a case of an active-duty military service member who sustained a patellar tendon rupture with concomitant multiligamentous knee injury due to a fall while bouldering. This case report is the first to highlight this significant injury due to bouldering, in addition to the surgical steps taken to get the patient fit for full military duty. These injuries often go undiagnosed and are incredibly important to recognize given the importance of prompt evaluation and ultimate surgical care in these scenarios.
