TY - JOUR PY - 2004// TI - Ipsilateral dislocation of knee, foot and ankle JO - Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery A1 - Vasali, Alejandro Sasareanu A1 - Seara, Jose Luis Vispo SP - 418 EP - 420 VL - 124 IS - 6 N2 - We present a case of ipsilateral dislocation of the knee, ankle and midfoot. No previous report of this combination of injuries was found in a review of the literature. In spite of the type of injury, no neurovascular compromise or complications turned up. Closed reduction of the dislocations was possible and performed under general anaesthesia. At the last examination, 4 years after injury, the alignment of the joints was preserved, and the range of motion of the three joints resembled that of the opposite side. Without fractures, the closed reduction and temporary immobilisation of all the affected joints produced a remarkably good result.
