Abduction Dislocation of the Knee Joint - a Case Study

Journal Title: Ortopedia Traumatologia Rehabilitacja - Year 2013, Vol 15, Issue 5

Abstract

The paper presents a case of untypical, not included in existing classifications, knee joint dislocation in a young man. An MRI scan confirmed a rupture of both cruciate ligaments and damage to the ligamento-capsular complex on the medial side of the knee joint. Two weeks after injury, an arthroscopy was performed with joint lavage followed by repair of the damaged ligamento-capsular complex. A very good functional result was obtained three years after the injury, in spite of the patient not having consented to an elective cruciate ligament reconstruction.
