Abstract:
Old neglected dislocation of knee joint is a rare injury. Any
orthopaedic surgeon would have faced only a few cases of
unreduced neglected dislocation in his life time practice. We
report the case of a 30-year old male patient with one month
old unreduced knee dislocation which was managed with
open reduction and stabilization with two intra-articular
crossed Steinman pins for six weeks, followed by removal of
the pins and gradual weight bearing in hinged knee brace. At
the end of one year, range of movement of knee joint was 0
to 50 degree with minimal knee pain on walking.
