Two Cases of Knee Dislocation With Multiligament Ruptures Caused by Rotary Tiller Injury.

Area of Science:

• Orthopedic Surgery
• Trauma Surgery
• Sports Medicine

Background:

• Rotatory knee dislocation is an uncommon injury.
• Rototiller accidents are a rare cause of knee dislocations.
• These injuries often involve multiple ligamentous and meniscal damage.

Purpose of the Study:

• To detail the diagnostic and therapeutic approach for rototiller-induced knee dislocations.
• To present the management and rehabilitation of two such cases.
• To emphasize timely intervention for optimal outcomes.

Main Methods:

• Case report of two patients with rototiller-induced knee dislocations.
• Diagnostic evaluation including assessment for vascular and neurological compromise.
• Surgical management involving one-stage multiligament reconstruction and meniscal repair.
• Postoperative rehabilitation protocols.

Main Results:

• Successful management of two complex knee dislocations.
• Prompt reduction and surgical repair led to favorable outcomes.
• Early functional exercise contributed to good knee function post-rehabilitation.

Conclusions:

• Rototiller-induced knee dislocations require prompt diagnosis and management.
• One-stage multiligament reconstruction and meniscal repair within three weeks are recommended.
• Timely surgical intervention and early rehabilitation are crucial for favorable functional recovery.
