Posterolateral knee dislocations are rare but more common in high-energy trauma. This case highlights successful surgical reduction and stabilization of a chronic posterolateral knee dislocation, restoring significant range of motion.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Trauma Management

Background:

  • Knee dislocations are uncommon as isolated injuries.
  • Prevalence increases with high-energy multiple trauma.
  • Prompt recognition and treatment are crucial in polytrauma settings.

Observation:

  • An 18-year-old female sustained a posterolateral knee dislocation after a motor vehicle collision.
  • Initial reduction attempt was made in the trauma setting.
  • The patient presented 3 months later with an unreduced dislocation.

Findings:

  • A single-stage surgical operation was performed for reduction and stabilization.
  • The patient experienced a successful outcome postoperatively.
  • Significant range of motion was regained after surgery.
