Abstract
Summary: This article reports the first published case of spontaneous, simultaneous rupture of both the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments 3 months after radiofrequency thermal probe treatment. The patient had no previous traumatic injury to the knee. Simultaneous rupture occurred under minimal physiologic load. Clinical, radiologic, and surgical findings are presented.Keywords
