Abstract:   (241 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.
