[Knee dislocation--a simple diagnosis? Compartment syndrome with occlusion of the popliteal artery and lesion of the peroneal nerve after inadequate trauma]. / Die Kniegelenkluxation--eine einfache Diagnose? Kompartmentsyndrom mit Verschluss der A. poplitea und Läsion des N. fibularis communis nach inadäquatem Trauma.

ABSTRACT

Knee dislocations are rare and often associated with damage to the surrounding structures. We present a case where a soldier sustained a complex knee dislocation during routine training. This trauma was associated with a compartment syndrome, occlusion of the popliteal artery, lesion of the peroneal nerve and multiple lesions of ligaments and tendons of the knee.
