Open knee dislocation, triple intra-articular fractures and patellar tendon rupture: case report of a knee disaster treated with aggressive irrigation/debridement, early anatomic reduction and internal fixation.

Irreducible knee dislocation needs further work up to rule out any interposed soft tissue into the joint. Aggressive irrigation/ debridement, early anatomic reduction, and internal fixation may help reduce open fracture complications including infection, non-union, and stiffness.
