Categories of knee dislocations, interesting a lot of these will self reduce, they are often associated with significant ligamentous and neurovascular damage.
Case Discussion
Five types of knee dislocation have been described, with respect to tibial displacement compared to the femur:
- anterior (40%)
- posterior (~33%)
- lateral (~20%)
- rotatory (~5%)
- medial (~5%)
