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.
