This is the back of your knee, and that big artery is definitely important. (Source: Wikimedia Commons) The popliteal artery runs behind the knee and supplies blood to the lower leg. An injury to the artery that isn’t repaired quickly can lead to loss of blood supply and potentially amputation. A huge part of the initial evaluation of a patient wit...
More important things that run through the knee: Nerves! (Source: Wikimedia Commons) The tibial nerve runs behind the knee and splits into several other nerves including the peroneal. Because of the way the peroneal wraps around the lower leg, it’s particularly susceptible to damage in a knee dislocation. Damage to the nerve is a huge deal, because...

Knee dislocations can result in disruptions of one or more ligaments. Most often both the ACL and PCL are affected. Bridgewater has a complete ACL te...

Dislocations are often seen in direct blows from tackles, falls or motor vehicle collisions, but I’ve seen plenty from awkward turns, stepping in holes or off curbs, or “Doc,...
The initial step in management is to get the knee back in place, which is known as reduction in fancy doctor talk. That’s accomplished with sedation (because only a jerk reduces a big joint on an awake patient) and then literally yanking the leg into place. The next step is assessing the damage left behind. CT angiography can determine if the vesse...

Aside from the obvious issues with nerve or artery damage (which so far doesn’t seem to be on the table), there’s the potential for long-term joint stiffness, loss of range of motion and strength, pain, blood clots and all the other postoperative problems you can have with any major injury. While some people can return to their pre-injury l...
