Objective
To review the research progress of diagnosis and treatment system for knee dislocation (KD) based on the stage and classification of posteromedial structure and posterolateral corner injury, so as to provide guidance for clinical work.
Methods
The relevant literature on the classification, diagnosis and treatment was extensively reviewed.
Results
At present, the criterion of the stage and classification of KD mainly include classification based on the size of the injury energy, Kennedy classification, and the improved Schenck classification, but they are not perfect because of no stage and classification of multiple ligament injury and no standardized treatment of different injuries. Hua Xi Knee Dislocation and Multiple Ligament Injury (HX-KDMLI) has optimum plan for injury treatment of posteromedial structure and posterolateral corner injury in KD based on stage and classification.
Conclusion
At present, there is no unified opinion on stages and classifications of the posteromedial structure and posterolateral corner injury in KD as well as on diagnosis and treatment. HX-KDMLI has certain feasibility for the stage and classification of the posteromedial structure and posterolateral corner injury in KD, to a certain extent, it can be used as reference for the diagnosis and treatment of KD.
