Popis: Objectives Multiple ligament knee injuries (MLKIs) are disruptive injuries, however, there are controversies in the results of acute and delayed reconstruction. Also, clinical outcomes between patients older or younger than 40 have not been compared in MLKIs. This study was designed to investigate the influence of age and timing of reconstruction on the outcomes of single‐stage reconstruction of MLKIs. Methods The patients who underwent reconstruction of multiple injured ligaments because of MLKIs between May 2013 and July 2019 were added to the cohort. The postoperative complications, knee range of motion (ROM), Lysholm score, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) 2000 score, Tegner activity level, patient satisfaction, and SF‐36 score were compared between young (≤ 40 years old, n = 41) and old patients (n = 61); acute (≤ 3 weeks after injury, n = 75) and delayed reconstruction (n = 27), using Mann–Whitney U test or χ2 test. Results A total of 102 MLKI patients managed by single‐stage multi‐ligament reconstruction were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were followed up after surgery for a mean of 7.3 years (5.2‐10.7 years). At the last follow‐up, no significant difference was found in knee ROM, functional scores, and patient‐reported outcomes between patients older or younger than 40; acute and delayed reconstruction (p > 0.05). The rate of complications in the delayed reconstruction group was higher than that of the acute reconstruction group (22.2% vs 5.3%, p
