With a high-quality image (1.5 tesla or 3 tesla magnet) and no previous knowledge of the patient's history, musculoskeletal radiologists were able to accurately diagnose medial knee injury 87% of the time. [18] MRI can also show associated bone bruises on the lateral side of the knee, which one study shows, happen in almost half of medial knee ...
A knee dislocation is an injury in which there is disruption of the knee joint between the tibia and the femur. [3] [4] Symptoms include pain and instability of the knee. [2] Complications may include injury to an artery, most commonly the popliteal artery behind the knee, or compartment syndrome. [3] [4] [7]
distal radius fracture with ulnar dislocation and entrapment of styloid process under annular ligament: Moore's fracture at TheFreeDictionary.com: Pipkin fracture-dislocation: G. Pipkin: posterior dislocation of hip with avulsion fracture of fragment of femoral head by the ligamentum teres: impact to the knee with the hip flexed (dashboard injury)
A patellar dislocation is a knee injury in which the patella (kneecap) slips out of its normal position. [5] Often the knee is partly bent, painful and swollen. [1] [2] The patella is also often felt and seen out of place. [1] Complications may include a patella fracture or arthritis. [3]
Nearly 41% of knee dislocations have an associated fracture, with the majority of these fractures in one of the legs. [46] Nerve injury occurs in about 15.3% of knee dislocations, while major artery injury occurs in 7.8% of knee dislocations. [46] More than half (53.5%) of knee dislocations have an associated torn meniscus. [46]
If the injury to the ligament is left untreated, it may be able to heal on its own, but likely in a loosened or lengthened position. This leaves the patella vulnerable to repeated dislocation in the future. In turn, repeated dislocations can lead to tearing cartilage in the knee. Once damaged, there is increased risk of patellofemoral arthritis ...

Symptoms include pain, swelling, and bruising to the front of the knee. [1] A person may also be unable to walk. [1] Complications may include injury to the tibia, femur, or knee ligaments. [2] It typically results from a hard blow to the front of the knee or falling on the knee. [1] The patella can also be fractured indirectly.
