Lateral patella dislocation associated with an irreducible posterolateral knee dislocation: literature review

Orthopedics. 2005 May;28(5):459-61. doi: 10.3928/0147-7447-20050501-11.

Abstract

Posterolateral dislocations involve significant injury to the medial structures of the knee, therefore particular attention should be paid to repairing the medial patella stabilizers at the time of open reduction.
