Evaluation of Vascular Injuries Associated with Different Kinds of Traumatic Knee Dislocations

Vascular injury associated with low-velocity dislocations of the knee.

Complete dislocation of the knee is a relatively rare condition. When it occurs as a result of high-velocity injury, such as in a road traffic accident, associated vascular injury is generally suspected. In low-velocity injuries, however, distal pulses are often maintained throughout, and the possibility of vascular injury may erroneously be discounted. We report four cases of low-velocity disl...

[traumatic Dislocations of the Knee].

Traumatic dislocation of the knee is an uncommon but serious injury, associated with extensive soft-tissue damage and the danger ofneurological and vascular involvement. Kennedy (1963) described twenty-two cases, discussing the mechanism of production and the high incidence of popliteal artery involvement, particularly in anterior dislocations. Griswold ( 195 1 ) and Quinlan and Sharrard ( 1958...

Knee Dislocations in Sports Injuries

Knee dislocations are devastating when they occur on the athletic field or secondary to motor sports. The complexity of presentation and spectrum of treatment options makes these injuries unique and extremely challenging to even the most experienced knee surgeons. An astute appreciation of the treatment algorithm is essential to plan individualized management since no two complex knee dislocati...

Vascular injuries associated with dislocation of the knee.

Two hundred and forty-five knee dislocations were analyzed including forty-one new cases. The high incidence of injuries to the popliteal artery that accompanies this lesion (32 per cent) was confirmed, and it was re-emphasized that vascular repair must be completed within six or at the most eight hours from the time of injury to avoid amputation. Of the patients not treated within that time pe...
