Initial Management
- Reduce dislocation
- Evaluate pre and post neurovasc status
- Ankle Brachial Index (ABI)
- Consider vascular referral
– Abnml ABI (<0.9) – Hx of vascular diagnosis – Other physical findings
- (expanding hematoma popliteal fossa)
- High energy- good secondary survey when able

OR management
- Ex-Fix
- Evaluate compartments
– Can measure intra-op (account for temp decr MAP intraop) – Prophylactic release if obtunded?
- Return to fight another day

Treatment- Staged
- Ex-fix-
- Goals- reduced
knee, stable
- Allow vascular
repair if necessary
University of Virginia Orthopaedic Surgery
Treatment- staged
- Can get CT scan in reduced position to identify
fx patterns
– Look at pattern – Other fx lines
- Can watch injury evolve
– Fx blisters – Compartment syndrome – Vascular injury
University of Virginia Orthopaedic Surgery
Treatment
- Return to OR when stable
- Good pre op plan
- Appropriate team and equipment
– Want the A team – Is that you? – Is that you at Midnight?
- Don’t get burned

Summary
- Complex injury
- Important to reduce to stable position and
evaluate for concomitant NV injuries and
- ther system injury
- Zone of injury may progress
- Better to proceed cautiously and stage
treatment
