Excerpt

Knee dislocations are rare, limb-threatening injuries, comprising approximately 0.02% of orthopedic injuries [9]. Commonly associated with complex multiligamentous knee injuries (MLKIs) requiring reconstruction, the literature varies considerably regarding surgical management [8, 10]. Incidence of pediatric knee dislocations is currently unknown as few prior reports exist. As such, appropriate surgical management of pediatric MLKIs is not well established. While it is common for these injuries to result in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, those not involving the ACL are exceedingly rare and previously undescribed in the skeletally immature. …
