摘要:The purpose of this study was to describe the post surgical knee dislocation (KD), and to present preliminary data concerning the outcomes of these patients after treatment, with a minimum 2-yr follow-up. Sixteen patients who underwent KD repair surgery over an 8-yr period. Subjective measures include the following scales: (a) Lysholm; (b) Tegner activity; (c) VAS; (d) SF-36; (e) IKDC; and (f) psychosocial questionnaire. Patients underwent ligamentous exam, radiographic evaluation, and function including single leg hop testing Average assessment scores are: SF-36 physical health = 47.1, Lysholm = 75.6, IKDC = 69.2, VAS involved = 32 mm, VAS uninvolved = 15 mm. 38% of patients have returned to heavy or competitive activity. Sixty-three percent of patients had <3 mm of translation on the KT- 1000. Overall hop testing symmetry index was 89.8% ± 10.13. Isotonic quad strength at 60 deg•sec~(-1) - 84.74% ± 24.58, isotonic ham strength at 60 deg•sec~(-1) - 100.26% ± 19.77, isotonic quad strength at 180 deg•sec~(-1) - 89.74% ± 18.30, isotonic ham strength at 180 deg•sec~(-1) - 96.87% ± 26.37. This study demonstrates that good stability can often be achieved with greater than one-third of the patients returning to sports or heavy activity.
