Abstract
Traumatic knee dislocation is an uncommon injury associated with extensive soft tissue damage and often neurovascular involvement. Vascular injury is the most serious complication. There is genera agreement that early diagnosis and immediate treatment of popliteal artery disruption is essential. However there is no consensus about treatment of capsular and ligamentous injuries. Some authors reported good results advocated the repair of all ligaments in the best method. Seven traumatic knee dislocations have been treated in our hospital for last 20 years. Initial treatment, complications and results are presented.
