| Stage 1 vs stage 2 | 0.89 | 0.64-0.99 | 0.97 | 0.74-1.0 | 0.1 | .207 |
| Stage 2 vs stage 3 | 0.88 | 0.63-0.99 | 0.90 | 0.71-1.0 | 0.02 | .829 |
| Stage 3 vs stage 4 | 0.84 | 0.58-0.97 | 0.86 | 0.65-0.99 | 0.02 | .848 |
| Stable vs unstable injuries | 0.97 | 0.82-1.00 | 0.98 | 0.83-1.0 | 0.01 | .220 |
ACL, anterior cruciate ligament; AUC, area under the curve; CI, confidence interval; dMCL, deep medial collateral ligament; %, percentage; POL, posterior oblique ligament; sMCL, superficial medial collateral ligament; stable injuries, combined stage 0 and stage 1; stage 0, intact state; stage 1, transectioning of sMCL; stage 2, transectioning of sMCL and dMCL; stage 3 transectioning of sMCL, dMCL, and POL; stage 4, transectioning of sMCL, dMCL, POL, and ACL; unstable injuries, stage 2.
