Abstract:
We report a case of posterior femorotibial dislocation with an isolated lesion of the posterior cruciate ligament. Outcome was favorable after reduction and conservative treatment for six weeks and was satisfactory at six months follow-up. Acceptable functional results can be obtained after non-operative treatment of this very severe knee injury.
