ABSTRACT: Knee dislocations are rare injuries. Posterior
knee dislocations are only a small subset of them. There is a paucity of
literature regarding the management of such neglected cases. We report here, a
case of neglected irreducible posterior knee dislocation treated with a total
knee arthroplasty followed by gradual rehabilitation with good outcome at 1
year follow-up.
