Abstract

A knee dislocation is defined as a complete displacement of the Tibia with respect to the femur, with disruption of 3 or more of the stabilizing ligaments. Traumatic knee dislocation is considered as an emergency condition as a result of the high incidence of vascular injuries 5-79% and nerve injuries 16-40%. As a result of low numbers of cases recorded in the published studies and the numbers of studies itself, there are many controversies about the evaluation and management of traumatic knee dislocation. Therefore, this essay aims to show new and recent trends for the management of traumatic knee dislocation.
