Best Practice Case Studies-Knee Dislocation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Barry Belosis, a musculoskeletal radiology fellow at Stanford, discusses the case of a 25-year-old running back with right knee pain after hyperextension, suspected of knee dislocation. MRI reveals complete ruptures of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, high-grade tearing of the lateral collateral ligament complex, and an MCL sprain. Radiographs show suprapatellar effusion and impaction deformity of the lateral femoral condyle. In multi-ligamentous knee injury assessment, it's crucial to evaluate meniscal tears, ligament retraction, bone fractures, vascular injuries, and nerve signals. A detailed knee MRI anatomy lecture by Dr. Christopher Beaulieu is recommended.
