چکیده | ||
Neglected knee dislocations are rare and challenging orthopedic injuries. We report using a traction pin to treat a neglected knee dislocation and a concurrent infection. Following the primary reduction with extensive soft-tissue release, a proximal tibial traction pin was used to obtain complete reduction via traction weight change. No ligamentous repair was done for the patient. The patient’s one-year follow-up showed an acceptable radiographic reduction supported by satisfactory clinical outcomes. In conclusion, the proximal tibial traction pin could be a good alternative for treating neglected knee dislocations. It makes future knee replacements more practical, a significant concern in such patients. Meanwhile, it is much more affordable than the other available techniques. Level of evidence: V | ||
