[Reconstruction for knee dislocation with multiple ligaments injury at stage I]

Area of Science:

• Orthopedic Surgery
• Sports Medicine
• Arthroscopy

Background:

• Knee dislocation with multiple ligament injuries presents complex treatment challenges.
• Arthroscopic techniques offer minimally invasive options for complex knee reconstructions.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic tendon allograft reconstruction for multi-ligament knee injuries.
• To assess the efficacy of a minimally invasive approach in treating knee dislocations.

Main Methods:

• Forty-eight patients underwent arthroscopic anterior and posterior ligament reconstruction using tendon allografts.
• The minimally invasive technique was applied in stage I treatment for knee dislocations.
• Lysholm scoring was used to assess knee function pre- and post-operatively.

Main Results:

• Significant improvements in joint activity and stability were observed post-surgery.
• Lysholm scores increased from 40.3 pre-operatively to 87.0 at final follow-up.
• Average follow-up duration was 18.2 months.

Conclusions:

• Arthroscopic minimally invasive reconstruction is effective for multi-ligament knee injuries, enhancing joint stability and function.
• Preoperative training and individualized postoperative rehabilitation are vital for successful knee function recovery.
