Anatomy: Tibiofemoral Joint
Bones• femoral condyles• tibial plateau
Dissimilar surfaces Little/No inherent
bony stabilityMay be cause of
additional instability if fractured
Stabilizers of the Tibiofemoral JointSoft tissues: stabilize
while allowing ROM• Ligaments• Joint capsule• Menisci
• Musculotendinous units (DYNAMIC)
Anatomy – 4 groups of ligamentsACL
PCLMCL, posteromedial
capsuleLCL & PLC (popliteofibular
ligament, popliteus, capsule, ITB, biceps
femoris)
Vascular AnatomyPopliteal artery at risk for being tethered • Adductor hiatus• Soleus arch
If blood flow through popliteal artery disrupted
Inadequate blood supply distally
Anatomy: NervesInfluences LongTerm Outcome Peroneal nerve
• More commonly injured• Tethered around the fibular
neck• Mechanism of injury
• Tension (Varus ± hyperextension, Translation
(Anterior /Posterior dislocation)• Direct impact
• Iatrogenic (aggressive varus/hyperextension during EUA
(!)
Tibial nerve
Knee Dislocation–Multiligamentous InjuryDisruption of
normal relationship of tibiofemoral
jointUsually requires the injury to 2 of
the 4 major groups of ligaments
Knee Dislocation–Multiligamentous Injury
Large Spectrum of injury
Increased severity with more structures involved
Pathomechanics
May occur not only with high energy but also with low energy
Low energy• Athletic activity (more with contact sports)
• Fall down stairs• Jump of the low height
High energy• MVA• PVA
• Fall from height
PathomechanicsCadaveric studyProgressive Hyperextension
model Anterior dislocation
@≈30 degrees: tear of posterior CAPSULE
Followed by tear of PCL & ACL DISLOCATION
@≈50 degrees: rupture of POPLITEAL ARTERY
Kennedy JC. 1963Kennedy JC. 1963
PathomechanicsCadaveric studyCombined cruciate ligaments injury
in hyperextension
Low rate of strain (100%/sec) midsubstance tear of PCL
High high rate of strain (400%/sec) avulsion of PCL from
femurACL: Mixed pattern of injury
Schenck RC et al. 1999 Schenck RC et al. 1999
Why Important?
…serious injury which can have
long-term adverse effects which
may impair the patient’s return to
physical employment and
recreational activity.
Robertson A et al. 2006Robertson A et al. 2006
Epidemiology
“It is unlikely that any single
physician personally cares for
more than a few knee dislocations
in a lifetime of practice”
Meyers MH, Harvey JP. 1971Meyers MH, Harvey JP. 1971
EpidemiologyTrue incidence is underreported• Spontaneous reduction
• Definition (documented complete dislocation vs. ≥1 cruciate + one collateral
injury)• Obesity interferes with exam and
mechanism
Presented in a variety of clinical practices• Trauma Center• Sport Medicine
• General Orthopaedics
Epidemiology
0.2 % of all orthopaedic injuries
Young ♂MVA, sports trauma
14-44 % associated w multiple traumaBilateral 5 %
Robertson A et al. 2006Robertson A et al. 2006
Ligamentous Injury in Polytrauma PatientSuspect & Examine in any• Lower extremity long bone fracture
• Polytrauma• Head injury
Isolated femoral shaft fx• Associated knee ligament injury: 33% (Walling
AK 1982)
Isolated tibial shaft fx• Associated knee ligament injury: 22%
(Templeman DC 1989)
Ipsilateral Femoral & tibial shaft fx• Associated knee ligament injury: 32-53% (Szalay
MJ 1990, vanRaay JJ 1991)
Diagnosis
Hyperextension Popliteal ecchymosis
Vascular insufficiency Peroneal nerve deficit
Diffuse tenderness but Absence of hemartrosis
(capsular disruption) Obese pt low energy fall
If any of the following present r/o Multiligamentous injury (Spontaneous reduction UNDERDIAGNOSED)
Physical Examination
Evaluate soft tissues • Open
• Puckering (irreducible dislocation)
Vascular ExaminationColor, temperature, PulsesDorsalis Pedis a. & Tibialis
Posterior a.ABI (Ankle Brachial Index)• ≥0.9: Serial examination
• <0.9: further study/exploration• Johanson, K, JT
Reduce if dislocated and Reexamine
Vascular ExaminationABI ≥0.9 & no signs of vascular
injury: Arterial study may not be necessary if
• Serial examination q 2-4 hrs for 48 hrs can reliably be
performed
If not, arterial study may be ordered to r/o vascular injury
Mills WJ 2004, Stannard JP 2004Mills WJ 2004, Stannard JP 2004
Vascular ExaminationABI <0.9 OR Temperature, Color, OR
Expanding swelling (hematoma) around the knee
Arterial study• Arteriography in OR ( on table
by surgeon)• Angiography (radiology suite)
• CT- Angiogram
Vascular Injury~20% (5-30%) of all
dislocations
EMERGENCY if NO distal perfusion
Patterns of Vascular injury• rupture

Helps Determine Treatment Plan• Timing (early in ligament
avulsions, displaced meniscus tear)• Procedure (repair vs.
reconstruction)• Surgical Approach
Diagnosis - EUAInvaluable to determine Treatment
plan
When ?• If they go to OR for other reasons in
multiply injured
• After ALL femoral & tibial IMN
• Before prepping for surgery (knee) to confirm findings & instability

ADVANTAGES
Better DEFINITION of injuries better communication
Guides TREATMENT i.e. what is tornHelpful to COMPARE different types
of treatment, studies
Treatment
Treatment – Closed ReductionShould be done EMERGENTLY/URGENTLY
with sufficient muscle relaxation (Don’t apply aggressive force!)
Closed Reduction• In the field• In ED
• Under general anesthesia if not reducible with conscious sedation (Rare as the bony anatomy
of the knee is not constrained)
Direct force against Popliteal fossa & hyperextension should be AVOIDED
Closed Reduction ManeuverPOSITION of DISLOCATION
(Tibia relative to Femur)
Anterior• Traction & elevation of distal femur
Posterior• Traction & extension of proximal tibia
Lateral / Medial• Traction & correctional translation
Rotational• Traction & correctional derotation
Open ReductionIrreducible by Closed methods
RareTypically POSTEROLATERAL• Dimple sign – Puckering of
anteromedial skin• Buttonhole of medial femoral
condyle through soft tissues (capsule, MCL, retinaculum,
vastus medialis)• Watch for skin necrosis
Urguden M 2004
Initial StabilizationDepends on the STABILITY after reduction
Stability correlated with the extent of injured structures
Knee immobilizer• If grossly stable
External Fixator• If grossly unstable
Long leg splint with medial/lateral slabs• Does not allow serial checks of vascular status and
compartments
NEED TO CONFIRM REDUCTION AFTER STABILIZATION (X-ray)
Complicated by Obesity and Other Injuries
Initial Stabilization-External FixationIndications:• Grossly Unstable Knee
• Soft tissue Reasons (open wounds, compromised skin, Arterial repair)
• Mark future incisions before inserting pins
Temporary • until definitive treatment
Definitive treatment • if patient not a surgical
candidate
External Fixation Spanning the knee– Avoid anticipated incisions for repair / reconstruction
– Use MRI compatible clamps– Femur: Anterior/Anterolateral /Lateral pins
– Tibia: Anterior/Anteromedial pins
Dynamic Hinged– To protect repair/reconstruction
while allowing ROM (Stannard JP 2002)
Treatment - Vascular InjuryScenario 1:
ISCHEMIC LIMB after REDUCTION
EMERGENCY EXPLORATION
Location of injury predictableOn table Arteriogram can be done
Circulation has to be restored in 6-8 hrs
Treatment - Vascular InjuryRepair vs. reversed saphenous vein graft
Prophylactic fasciotomy of leg compartments
Treatment - Vascular InjuryScenario 2:
ABNORMAL VASCULAR EXAM – perfused LIMB
URGENT ARTERIAL STUDY
CT- AngiogramAngiography
Treatment - Vascular Injury
Scenario 3: NORMAL VASCULAR EXAM – no Planned
Extremity Surgery
Serial examination q 2-4 hrs for 48 hrs if can reliably be performed
If NOT, order arterial study to r/o vascular injury
MR Angio may be preferred as it will also show injured structures
Treatment - Vascular Injury
Scenario 4: NORMAL VASCULAR EXAM – Planned
Extremity Surgery
Serial examination q 2-4 hrs for 48 hrs if can reliably be performed
If NOT, order arterial study to r/o vascular injury
MR Angio for both to r/o vascular injury and operative planning
Treatment – Neurologic Injury
Common peroneal nerve palsy
Most Common with varus injury (III L)
PROGNOSIS is POORComplete Recovery ~ 20%
Niall DM et al. 2005; Bonnevialle P. 2010 Niall DM et al. 2005; Bonnevialle P. 2010
Treatment – Neurologic Injury
Mostly explored & decompressed during repair/reconstruction:• Macroscopically normal:
Observe• In continuity but injured:
Observe or Grafting• Disrupted: Repair/Grafting
ENMG @ 6-12 weeks if not explored and no signs of
recovery
Treatment – Neurologic Injury
Nerve Injury impairs Function & Activity level
May consider limited surgery
Avoid Equinus (AFO, Dorsiflexion exercises to
preserve mobility of ankle
Salvage: Tendon transfer if no recovery after 1 year
TreatmentDiscuss the prognosis with the patient
Patient’s factors• Multiply Injured vs. Isolated injury
• Age, Activity Level• Compliance with WB and PT is CRUCIAL
PT/Rehab• Necessary for Best possible outcome
Individualize treatment per the injury and the patient
Nonoperative vs. Operative TreatmentNo prospective Randomized Clinical Trial
(rare, large spectrum of injury)Grade I –II injuries generally treated
nonoperatively
Recent clinical series reported BETTER outcomes with early (2-4 weeks) OPERATIVE treatment of Grade III
injuries• Repair/reconstruction of injured structures
Engebretsen L 2009, Harner CD 2004, Liow RY 2003, Fanelli GC 2002, Robertson A 2006Robertson A 2006
Nonoperative TreatmentLess commonly recommended as better results with Operative treatment
Indications• Nonambulatory• Critically ill
• Severely injured soft tissues• Cannot do PT postop• High grade open• Multiply injured
Exfix or Knee Immobilizer • depending on the degree of stability and
alertness of the patient• Exfix if grossly unstable
Nonoperative TreatmentImmobilization 3-6 weeks– Reevaluate q 2-3 weeks, once stable start
ROM
Followed by ROM in hinged knee brace– with valgus mold in LCL/PLC injury
– With varus mold in MCL injury
Isometric exercises as early as
possible– Especially quadriceps in PCL injuries
Operative TreatmentTiming (Early vs.Delayed)Repair/reattachment vs.
ReconstructionSimultaneous Reconstruction
Cruciates vs. STAGED (PCL 1st, ACL later)
Fractures
Operative Treatment - Timing
MULTIPLY INJURED vs.
ISOLATED INJURY
Risk of HO & Stiffness– Polytrauma (ISS>26 : at least 2-system
injury)– Early Open surgery
LIMITED early surgery ( fixation of avulsions) recommended
DELAY reconstructive surgeryMills WJ, Tejwani N. 2003Mills WJ, Tejwani N. 2003
Operative Treatment - TimingTYPE of INJURY:
Avulsion with bone vs. Midsubstance tear / Soft tissue avulsion
EARLY fixation of Bony avulsions– More simple than reconstruction (usually
needed if delayed)
Exception: Soft tissue avulsion / midsubstance tears of MCL may be repaired
Operative Treatment - Timing
TYPE of INJURY: LCL/PLC Injury
Identification of tissues is very difficult after 2 weeks
EARLY reconstruction may be better than repair (Stannard 2005)
Operative Treatment - TimingRECONSTRUCTION of CRUCIATES
Recently, Good results reported with COMBINED reconstruction of PCL &ACL
STAGED reconstruction (PCL 1st, ACL later) may DECREASE the incidence of
stiffness
Engebretsen L 2009, Harner CD 2004, Fanelli GC 2002, Engebretsen L 2009, Harner CD 2004, Fanelli GC 2002, Ohkoshi Y 2002, Shelbourne KD 1991Ohkoshi Y 2002, Shelbourne KD 1991
Operative TreatmentFRACTURE DISLOCATIONSSTAGED Treatment
FIRST: Fracture fixation + reattachment of avulsionsReevaluate at 3-6 months
• Treat residual instability as many will be stable/stiff
Treatment of ALL injuries (fracture + dislocation) at once may have
high risk for stiffness• Assess Intraop after fixation of fracture: Treat ligamentous injuries
EARLY if grossly unstable
Operative TreatmentVariety of techniquesNo consensus on methods
Cruciates: Arthroscopic / Arthroscopic aided
Medial and lateral: Open
Allografts used for reconstructionsRepair capsule
ComplicationsSTIFFNESS
• Most concerning problem• EARLY ROM is CRUCIAL
• Occurs with both nonoperative & operative treatment
• High velocity, Multiple injured, Head injury: HIGH RISK
• HO may not be present• VERY DIFFICULT TO TREAT
• Think of early MUA (6 weeks) if no progress with aggressive PT
ComplicationsInstability – Residual Laxity• Nonoperative tx
• Failure of reconstruction• Easier to treat than stiffness
Compartment syndrome• Capsule torn: Be very careful
with arthroscopy
Iatrogenic vascular /nerve injuryOsteonecrosis
• After surgical treatment, 2nd hit?
