[Dislocations of the knee joint]. 1980

G Schuster

Tibial dislocation in the knee joint with an incidence of 0.2--3% is a rare event but inevitably bears severe consequences. From 1970--1978 we observed 7 cases. Most frequently there was a complex instability of the joint, accompanied by blood vessel and nerve lesions in 5 cases. METHODS Early suture or reinsertion of ligament rupture. Strict priority of blood vessel injuries. Conservative treatment results in poor functional results with necessity of secondary reconstructive procedures. Interdisciplinary cooperation is of crucial value in these injuries.
