| Popis: | This imaging-based article systematically reviews traumatic knee dislocations. After completion, the reader should be familiar with the definition, epidemiology, cause, and classification schemes associated with these injuries, as well as the importance of timely diagnostic imaging and an accurate, detailed description of findings, particularly as it relates to MRI interpretation. Finally, information our orthopedic surgical colleagues consider critical for the preoperative planning and reconstruction of the multiple ligament knee injury will be discussed.Although uncommon, traumatic knee dislocations are an important potentially limb-threatening injury, which if not emergently recognized and appropriately managed, can result in significant patient morbidity, joint dysfunction, chronic pain, and long-term disability. A radiologist familiar with the imaging appearance and potential neurovascular complications associated with these injuries can play an integral role in the multidisciplinary team that manages this increasingly recognized clinical entity. |
