Abstract

Knee dislocation is a devastating form of multiligament injury of the knee. Due to its high complexity, there is a large number of different diagnostic and treatment strategies. With the aim of providing evidence-based treatment recommendations, the S2e guideline on knee dislocation is aimed at all professional groups involved in diagnostics and therapy (orthopaedic and trauma surgeons, physiotherapists, outpatient/inpatient surgeons, sports physicians, etc.) as well as those affected (patients with knee dislocation) and service providers (health insurance companies, pension insurance companies). In addition to the presentation of conceptual differences between the injury entities, this includes the special features of diagnostic testing, options for conservative and surgical therapy as well as aspects of follow-up treatment – against the background of the interdisciplinary treatment approach to a severe knee injury.
