Abstract: (302 Views)
Neglected knee dislocations are rare. There is no agreement on the best treatment for these injuries. In this report, we present a case of old knee dislocation treated with open reduction and proximal tibial traction pin. After open reduction and extensive soft-tissue release, the complete reduction was not achieved. Therefore, we used a proximal tibial traction pin to gradually obtain a complete reduction via traction weight change. We did no ligamentous repair. One year after the operation, the patient had an acceptable radiographic reduction and satisfactory clinical outcomes. We recommend the proximal tibial traction pin as a valuable alternative in the treatment of neglected knee dislocation. In addition to its promising outcomes, the traction pin is much less expensive than the already-used devices. Moreover, the introduced procedure makes the future conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) more feasible, which is considered a significant concern in such patients.
