    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of one-stage arthroscopic reconstruction and strict immobilization for 6 weeks for treatment of knee dislocation. METHODS: Between August 2010 and May 2013, 22 cases (22 knees) of knee dislocation were treated with one-stage reconstruction and strict immobilization for 6 weeks. There were 15 males and 7 females, aged 21-54 years (mean, 31.5 years). The left knee and right knee were involved in 8 cases and 14 cases respectively. The disease causes were traffic accident in 12 cases, falling from height in 6 cases, and sports injury in 4 cases. The time between injury and operation was less than 2 weeks in 6 cases, 2-3 weeks in 10 cases, and more than 3 weeks in 6 cases. The results of anterior drawer test, posterior drawer test, and Lachman test were positive in all patients. The posterior displacement of the tibia was more than 10 mm. The results of valgus stress test and varus stress test were positive in 13 cases and 11 cases respectively. The preoperative knee range of motion was (58.2 ± 28.4)°, Lysholm score was 39.7 ± 4.6. All patients had anterior cruciate ligament rupture and posterior cruciate ligament rupture; combined injuries included medial collateral ligament rupture in 11 cases, lateral collateral ligament rupture in 9 cases, both medial and lateral collateral ligament rupture in 2 cases, femoral condylar avulsion fracture in 2 cases, and meniscus injury in 7 cases. No nerve or blood vessel injury was observed. RESULTS: All cases obtained primary healing of incision without infection. All the patients were followed up 12-48 months (mean, 27.8 months). At 12 months after operation, the results of the anterior drawer test, posterior drawer test, Lachman test, valgus stress test, and varus stress test were all negative; the knee range of motion increased was significantly to (121.3 ± 7.9)° (t = 30.061, P = 0.000); Lysholm score was 87.2 ± 6.1, showing significant difference when compared with preoperative score (t = 24.642, P = 0.000). CONCLUSION: A combination oathogopi osta ge reconstruction and strict immobilization for treatment of knee dislocation is a safe and effective method, good stability and joint function can be achieved.
