Complete knee dislocation is a severe injury often leading to poor outcomes. This study suggests a treatment focusing on posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and rehabilitation improves knee range of motion and function.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Complete knee dislocation is a rare but severe injury.
  • High rates of neurovascular damage are reported.
  • Current treatments often lead to poor range of motion and instability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel treatment plan for low-velocity knee dislocations.
  • To improve functional outcomes, range of motion, and stability.

Main Methods:

  • Noninvasive assessment of vascular status.
  • Surgical stabilization focusing on posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
  • Aggressive post-operative rehabilitation program.

Main Results:
