Complete dislocation of the knee jointAmerican Journal of Surgery, 26
Complete lateral dislocation of the knee occurs rarely. The knee is the largest and strongest hinge joint of the body and is held in place by internal and external supporting structures. The former consist of the anterior and posterior cruciate and the coronary and the transverse ligaments. The latter include the fibrous expansion of the quadriceps extensor tendon, the ligamentum patellae, the posterior (oblique popliteal) ligaments, the capsular ligaments and the external lateral and internal lateral ligaments. The literature is almost devoid of case reports for complete lateral dislocation of the knee joint. By complete dislocation of a joint is meant a disassociation of joint surfaces in which the opposing articular surfaces are no longer in apposition or in contact at any single point. Huber and Yaffel in their report of a case of anterior dislocation of the knee joint state that "lateral displacements are more infrequent." Longeway and Richardson2
