Traumatic anterior knee dislocation after total knee arthroplasty.
This article describes a traumatic complete anterior knee dislocation of a previously well-functioning total knee arthroplasty. A thorough physical examination with appropriate radiographic imaging study is required for proper evaluation and treatment of this injury, as it is often associated with neurovascular injury and subsequent global instability of the injured knee is likely.
