PURPOSE: The main purpose of the study was to provide an overview of @entity130 , concomitant injuries, and other relevant epidemiological data for @entity1 treated in Scandinavia with @entity3057 reconstruction (PCLR) following a @entity3057 ( @entity3057 ) injury. METHODS: A total number of 1287 @entity1 who underwent PCLR from 2004 to 2013 in the Scandinavian counties were included from the national ligament registries. The variables such as age, sex, activity, and graft used for reconstruction were collected. Then, injuries were sorted based on concomitant injuries. Finally, data from the different registries were compared. RESULTS: Average age of the treated @entity1 was 32.7  years. Sex distribution ratio of male to female was 858:429 (66.7  %:33.3  %). Depending on definition, 26-37  % of the injuries treated were isolated @entity130 . @entity130 were most commonly encountered in sports with 35.4  % of the total number of @entity130 in the study population. Soccer was the sport with the highest number of injuries (13.1  %). Cartilage lesions occurred in 26.1  % of @entity130 and @entity75 in 21.0  %. Minimum one other additional ligament was injured in 62.2  %. CONCLUSION: Isolated @entity130 are common, although the injury is most commonly associated with other @entity130 . There is a high prevalence of @entity1844 and @entity75 associated with @entity130 . Sports are the leading cause of @entity130 treated operatively. Epidemiological data are a necessary part of the basis for injury prevention in the future. The prevalence of concomitant injuries is also relevant and clinically important for the choice of surgical procedure and for the expected outcomes following surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: II.
