Abstract
The association of knee dislocation and arterial injury is rare, devastating and potentially threatening, usually caused by high-energy trauma. This association is often seen in polytraumatized patients who can progress to ischemia or even amputation [1,2]. Diagnosis is made by standard radiography. A vascular and neurological assessment is necessary. The vascular lesion is identified by angio-CT of the knee. The immediate treatment is reduction and treatment of closed vascular lesions [2,3]. We report a case of knee dislocation with occlusion of the popliteal artery in its articular portion complicated by acute schemia.
