Knee dislocations are considered one of the most serious and uncommon injuries that can affect a leg. This type of injury occurs when the bones in the joint come completely out of place, generally after severe accidents, falls, or high-impact blows.
The problem is that, in addition to the pain and deformity, arteries, nerves, and ligaments can also be damaged, even putting the limb at risk if it is not treated quickly.
In some cases, the knee goes back into position on its own, and that can cause the severity to go unnoticed. That is why most patients need reconstructive surgery and lengthy rehabilitation in order to regain mobility.
