Vascular Injury in Obese Patients after Ultra-Low-Velocity Trauma
Background: Traumatic Knee Dislocation (KD) is a serious and potentially limb threatening injury, albeit a relatively rare condition. Knee dislocation, defined as a complete disruption of the integrity of the tibia-femoral articulation, is uncommon, representing 0.001% to 0.013% of orthopedic injuries. Male:Female ratio is 4:1, and nearly 10% are caused by ultra-low-velocity dislocations. These...
متن کاملKnee Dislocation: A Case Report, Diagnostic Vascular Work-Up, and Literature Review
Knee dislocation is an uncommon, potentially limb-threatening, knee injury. Most often caused by high-velocity trauma, it can also result from low- or even ultra-low-velocity trauma. Rapid identification of the injury, reduction, and definitive management are necessary to minimize neurovascular damage. We present a case of rotatory anterolateral knee dislocation sustained during a twisting spor...
متن کاملAn Unexpected Complication of Hip Arthroplasty: Knee Dislocation
An increasing number of patients with hip fracture have been seen with osteoporosis associated with osteoarthritis. Although knee dislocation is related to high-energy trauma, low-grade injuries can also lead to knee dislocation which is defined as "ultra-low velocity dislocation." The case reported here is of an 82-year-old patient who presented with a left intertrochanteric hip fracture. Part...

متن کاملVascular injury associated with low-velocity dislocations of the knee.
Complete dislocation of the knee is a relatively rare condition. When it occurs as a result of high-velocity injury, such as in a road traffic accident, associated vascular injury is generally suspected. In low-velocity injuries, however, distal pulses are often maintained throughout, and the possibility of vascular injury may erroneously be discounted. We report four cases of low-velocity disl...
