Abstract

Traumatic Knee Dislocation (TKD) is an infrequent injury of all musculoskeletal system. To recognize a TKD is not always easy. Many times it occurs a spontaneous reduction on the site of accident that makes this patology difficult to address towards a correct treatment. It is significant to understand that the simultaneous presence of more than two ligament ruptures could be considered a traumatic dislocation. It is also important to recognize associated injuries, both vascular, nervous and osseous ones. Acute reduction is important as well as delayed treatment of ligament ruptures. Rehabilitation is a relevant point for a succesfull therapy.
