Open knee dislocations cause severe injuries requiring extensive surgery. While treatments can yield satisfactory outcomes, high infection rates and residual deficits remain challenges for patients.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Care
  • Reconstructive Surgery

Background:

  • Open knee dislocations are severe injuries with complex management.
  • Associated vascular and nerve injuries are common.
  • High complication rates, including infection, are a concern.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail injury types and surgical treatments for open knee dislocations.
  • To evaluate functional outcomes in patients with these injuries.
  • To identify challenges and success factors in managing traumatic open knee dislocations.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of medical records at a Level 1 Trauma Center (2001-2005).
  • Analysis of initial surgical interventions: external fixation, vascular repair, debridement.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Transection and Synovial Fluid Lavage in a Rodent Model to Study Joint Inflammation and Posttraumatic Osteoarthritis

Published on: September 2, 2025

  • Delayed ligamentous reconstruction and Short Form-12 for outcome measurement.

    • Main Results:

    • Seven patients (mean age 31.9) with common causes like motorcycle accidents.
    • Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) damage in all; vascular (3) and peroneal nerve (3) injuries noted.
    • High infection rate (43%), extensive procedures (avg. 10.7/patient), and 33% good-to-excellent results.

    Conclusions:

    • Open traumatic knee dislocations necessitate complex, multi-stage surgical treatment.
    • Aggressive management can achieve satisfactory outcomes despite high infection rates.
    • Full return to activity is often difficult, with most patients experiencing residual deficits.
