Abstract

OBJECTIVE To discuss the types, characteristics, and the evaluation of disability of knee injuries.

METHODS The data of 133 cases of knee injury from 2017 to 2019 were collected and statistically analyzed according to the region of injury, the degree of disability, etc.

RESULTS One hundred and twenty-five cases of injury were compound, and 8 cases were simple. The incidences of ligament injury, meniscus injury and fracture were 88.72%, 75.19% and 57.89%, respectively. Of the cruciate ligament injuries, 12 cases were posterior cruciate ligament injury while 51 cases were anterior cruciate ligament injury, and the differences between the two kinds of injury had statistical significance (P<0.05); 32 cases were secondary traumatic arthritis. The rates of disability of knee injuries were 38.35% (Grade Ⅸ and Ⅹ).

CONCLUSION Compound knee injuries are common, and traumatic arthritis has a relatively high rate. Multiple injuries can affect the stability and weight-bearing of the knee joint. It is suggested that in addition to evaluating the range of motion of knee joint, multiple factors should be considered to assess disability.
