description ImportanceMultiligament knee injuries are rare, but can lead to significant functional limitations. Surgery has been shown to improve outcomes, however, there remains considerable debate regarding the optimal timing of surgery.ObjectiveWe aimed to determine whether early surgery in the setting of a multiligamentous knee injury was associated with superior functional outcomes when compared with surgery on a delayed basis.Evidence reviewA comprehensive literature search of the MEDLINE, EMBASE and PubMed databases was conducted up to March 2018. We identified studies with a sample size greater than 10 that included subjects with an injury to at least two of the four major knee ligaments and compared outcomes between early and delayed surgery. We assessed the methodological quality of each included study using the Newstead-Ottawa Scale.FindingsWe identified 11 eligible studies, including a total of 320 patients (195 early and 125 delayed). The mean time to surgery among patients treated early was 11.2 days in comparison to 294.8 days for the delayed group. Early surgery was found to have a statistically significantly higher Lysholm score (p
