Knee dislocation and vascular injury: 4 year experience at a UK Major Trauma Centre and vascular hub

摘要

Introduction: Knee dislocation is a rare but potentially devastating injury. Quoted rates of associated vascular compromise vary dramatically between 3.3% and 64%, and the best approach to investigate and diagnose such an injury remains controversial. We aim to evaluate our own 4-year experience of knee dislocation and vascular injury as a UK Major Trauma Centre and vascular hub.
