Abstract
Knee dislocations usually involve anterior and posterior cruciate ligament injury (except in some rare anterior or posterior dislocations) and injury of the lateral and/or medial knee structures. Dislocations imply a high risk of neurovascular lesions and an angiogram is often indicated. This chapter does not deal with knee dislocations where one of the two cruciate ligaments is not torn.
