AB  - Dislocations  of  the  knee  are  rare.  They  are  true  orthopedic  emergencies  and  have  a  significant  association  with  soft  tissue  injuries  and  neurovascular  compromise.  A  dislocated  knee  occurs  most  commonly  after  a  major  force  is  applied  to  the  knee  joint  such  as  from  a  motor  vehicle  collision,  other  high-speed  trauma,  or  a  sports  injury.  The  etiology  has  recently  been  changing  to  also  occur  during  activities  of  daily  living  and  other  low-level  trauma,  especially  in  obese  patients.1-4  A  dislocated  knee  can  occur  after  a  total  joint  replacement.5  The  forces  necessary  to  cause  a  dislocation  of  the  knee  joint  can  often  fracture  the  bones  of  the  leg.
