Zusammenfassung

Kniegelenkluxationen sind selten, aber mit einer hohen Inzidenz von Schäden des Kniebinnenraums und umgebender Strukturen verbunden. Wir stellen den Fall eines Soldaten vor, der bei einem Routinetraining eine komplexe Knieluxation mit sofortiger Spontanreposition erlitt. Konsekutiv kam es zu einem Kompartmentsyndrom des Unterschenkels bei Läsion und Verschluss der A. poplitea, Läsion des N. fibularis und verschiedener Kniebänder und -sehnen.

Abstract

Knee dislocations are rare and often associated with damage to the surrounding structures. We present a case where a soldier sustained a complex knee dislocation during routine training. This trauma was associated with a compartment syndrome, occlusion of the popliteal artery, lesion of the peroneal nerve and multiple lesions of ligaments and tendons of the knee.
