Knee Dislocation: A Case Report, Diagnostic Vascular Work-Up, and Literature Review

Abstract EN

Knee dislocation is an uncommon, potentially limb-threatening, knee injury.

Most often caused by high-velocity trauma, it can also result from low- or even ultra-low-velocity trauma.

Rapid identification of the injury, reduction, and definitive management are necessary to minimize neurovascular damage.

We present a case of rotatory anterolateral knee dislocation sustained during a twisting sports-related event.

Special emphasis is placed on diagnosing vascular injuries associated with knee dislocations.
