Traumatic Anterior Dislocation of the Knee Without Any Neurovascular Complication-Case Report

We are reporting a case of traumatic anterior dislocation of the left knee without any neurovascular complication. To our knowledge, such complete dislocation without involvement of popliteal artery and/or peroneal nerve has not been reported before however similar cases are reported after total knee replacement with and without neurovascular compromise. This injury was recognized and treated promptly with rehabilitation commencing early, resulting in a good functional outcome. We discuss the possible injury mechanism and management of this unusual case.

Anterior knee dislocation with ipsilateral open tibial shaft fracture: a 5-year clinical follow-up of a professional athlete

Traumatic dislocation of the knee joint is an uncommon complex, multiple ligamentous injury resulting from a high-energy trauma. Significant lack of functions can be seen because of both early and late complications of these injuries such as popliteal artery disruption, peroneal nerve injury, persistent instability and posttraumatic arthritis. Therefore, the emergency surgery is necessary due to possibility of neurovascular compromise and limb loss. Controversies over operative versus closed immobilization of traumatic complex, multiple ligamentous knee injury are still debated. We report a case of traumatic anterior dislocation of the right knee with an ipsilateral tibial shaft fracture in association with right popliteal artery occlusion of a professional athlete who was returned to his sports activity by surgical treated tibia fracture and conservative treatment of the knee dislocation.

Traumatic Anterior Knee Dislocation and Tibial Shaft Fracture: A Case Report

We report a case of traumatic anterior dislocation of the left knee with an ipsilateral tibial shaft fracture in association with popliteal artery and common peroneal nerve injuries. To our knowledge, such a combination of injuries has not been reported before. All components of this injury were recognised and treated promptly with rehabilitation commencing early, resulting in a good functional outcome. We discuss the possible injury mechanism and management of this unusual case.

INTRAPELVIC DISLOCATION OF THE HEAD OF FEMUR THROUGH THE OBTURATOR FORAMEN ASSOCIATED WITH IPSILATERAL FRACTURE FEMUR

We describe a case of traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip in a 14-year-old boy with associated intrapelvic displacement of the femoral head and ipsilateral fractures of the shaft of the femur and greater trochanter. There was a delay in presentation of eight days. At operation the femoral head was reduced into the acetabulum after enlarging the obturator foramen by performing an osteotomy of the superior pubic ramus.

Two cases of anterior dislocation of the ulna at the inferior radio-ulnar joint

Two cases of traumatic anterior dislocation of the ulna at the inferior radio-ulnar joint were presented. Both cases were male. One visited us immediately after the injury and the other three weeks after the injury. This case had been treated in another hospital as fracture of the ulnar styloid process by a long arm cast. Paresis of the median and ulnar nerve was seen in both patients. The acute case could be reduced by manual reduction. In the other case manual reduction was failed and Darrach's operation was carried out four weeks after the injury. Five months after the operation he complained pain at his operated wrist when he carried a heavy thing with his hand. Roentgenograms showed a hollow depression on the ulnar border of the distal radius where face to the stump of the ulna.

Unusual traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip

Four interesting cases of traumatic anterior dislocation of the hip are presented. All were easily reduced by closed manipulation, including one complicated by a subtrochanteric fracture of the same femur. Early reduction and mobilization have resulted in good early results, though the risk of late change in the shape of the femoral head still exists in one of the cases. Another case confirmed that an abduction force on the flexed hip can produce anterior dislocation of the hip.
