[Injury of the popliteal artery as a complication of knee dislocation].
Dislocation of the knee is rarely seen. Only 15 patients with a knee dislocation were treated in the surgical department of the university hospital in the last 18 years. One patient had bilateral dislocation of the knee. Injury to the popliteal artery is severe and often endangers the extremity. In seven patients with knee dislocation arterial ischemic was detected. Five patients were treated for arterial damage (31.25%).
