  • Title: Traumatic Knee Dislocations: Evaluation, Management, and Surgical Treatment.
    Author: Lachman JR, Rehman S, Pipitone PS.
    Journal: Orthop Clin North Am; 2015 Oct; 46(4):479-93. PubMed ID: 26410637.
    Abstract:
    Knee dislocations are catastrophic injuries that demand emergent evaluation and often require a multidisciplinary approach. Long-term outcome studies are relatively scarce secondary to the variability in any given study population and the wide variety of injury patterns between knee dislocations. Multiple controversies exist with regard to outcomes using various treatment methods (early vs late intervention, graft selection, repair vs reconstruction of medial and lateral structures, rehabilitation regimens). Careful clinical evaluation is essential when knee dislocation is suspected.
