Abstract

Case: We present the unique case of a 88-year-old female who suffered a lateral knee dislocation of the right knee following a fall on a wet bathroom floor. Attempts at realignment via manipulation under anaesthesia (MUA) were unsuccessful, so the patient underwent an open reduction and the application of an external fixator to stabilise the knee.
Conclusion: Knee dislocations are characterised by a high rate of neurovascular injuries, therefore special emphasis should be made on the prompt diagnosis and treatment of such injuries.
Consent: Informed consent was obtained from the patient and family for the publication of the case report and all the figures included.
 

Keywords: Irreducible, Knee dislocation, Manipulation Under anaesthesia, Pucker sign.
