Complex knee trauma requires specific management. Minimal invasive techniques and ligament reconstruction are key for treating severe knee injuries and dislocations, aiming to reduce complications.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Trauma Management
  • Knee Biomechanics

Background:

  • Complex knee trauma, including floating knee injuries and dislocations with severe soft tissue damage, presents significant management challenges.
  • Current complication rates necessitate a specialized approach for these severe knee injuries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define complex knee trauma and outline an optimal management protocol.
  • To emphasize the importance of minimally invasive techniques and specific reconstructive strategies for complex knee injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Soft-tissue sparing, minimally invasive reduction and fixation techniques for fractures.
  • Percutaneous plate fixation, screw osteosynthesis, and hybrid fixation for complex knee fractures.
  • Reconstruction of the central pivot (cruciate ligaments) in knee dislocations, with tailored treatment for collateral ligament injuries.

Main Results:

  • Minimally invasive fixation techniques are crucial for reducing complication rates in complex knee fractures.
  • Augmented repair or tendon grafting is recommended for central pivot reconstruction in knee dislocations.
  • Treatment of collateral ligament lesions in dislocations is injury-dependent.

Conclusions:

  • A specific management protocol is essential for complex knee trauma.
  • Adoption of soft-tissue sparing, minimally invasive techniques and appropriate ligament reconstruction can improve outcomes for severe knee injuries.
