Summary

Surgical treatment for knee dislocations yields good functional outcomes, with most patients returning to work or studies within a year. Younger patients (<40) and sports-related injuries show better prognostic factors for knee dislocation recovery.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Trauma care
  • Sports medicine

Context:

  • Knee dislocation is a severe ligamentous injury, often involving multiple knee ligaments.
  • The definition of knee dislocation now includes injuries to bicruciate and lateral ligaments, even if initially reduced.
  • Surgical intervention is the established treatment modality for knee dislocations globally.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the functional outcomes of surgically treated knee dislocations.
  • To identify prognostic factors influencing recovery after knee dislocation surgery.
  • To assess patient return to work or studies post-treatment.

Summary:

  • A prospective study followed 55 patients (mean age 34) who underwent surgical treatment for knee dislocation between 1996-2002.

  • 59% of injuries resulted from high-energy trauma, but low-energy and sports-related injuries also occurred.
  • 57% achieved excellent to good results on the Lysholm Score, with 54/55 returning to work/studies within one year.

    • Impact:

    • Younger age (<40) and sports-related injuries are associated with positive prognostic outcomes.
    • Surgical treatment for knee dislocations facilitates a successful return to daily activities and employment.
    • This study highlights the importance of timely surgical management for diverse knee dislocation etiologies.
