Traumatic avulsion of knee joint.
The report describes complete avulsion of knee joint en bloc, from the confines of the soft tissues of the leg but the patient was able to show full range of motion at his ankle and foot with palpable dorsalis paedis and posterior tibial vessels. Arthrodaesis was the best available management option.
