title: [Posttraumatic recurrent luxation of knee joint (author's transl)].
abstract: A posttraumatic, recurrent luxation of the knee joint is presented. The cause for the first luxation was a severe trauma. As the treatment of the ligament and capsule ruptures of the first luxation was inadequate, the effect was a completely unstable knee joint. By hyperextension trauma or hyperextension following weakness of the muscles of the thigh recurrent luxations of the knee were caused. The importance of a sufficient treatment of ligament and capsule damage following a knee luxation is emphasized.
