Knee dislocation with concomitant multiligament injury is a rare and devastating injury. We report the successful repair of a rare case of open knee dislocation with concomitant multiligament injury and patellar tendon rupture of an 18-year-old male due to a motorcycle accident. The patient presented with an open wound running parallel to the knee joint line and patellar tendon rupture with full exposure of the cartilage of the distal femur. Staged surgical management including the application of a ring-type external fixator with a hinged joint, lateral collateral ligament repair, medial collateral ligament reconstruction using autogenous hamstring tendon, and joint release was performed. Range of movement was recovered to 0 degrees of knee extension and 80 degrees of knee flexion, and extension lag was negative. The Lysholm score of the patient was recovered to 92. The patient was able to return to work in the construction field 2 years after sustaining the injury. The patient had no complaint of pain and was able to resume construction work, even though reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament was not performed. The application of a hinged ring-type external fixation device might play a key role in early range of movement restoration and to maintain the reduced position and acceptable recovery of the posterior cruciate ligament injury without the need for reconstructive surgery. This report is the first to describe the safety and effectiveness of staged surgical management for the repair of open knee dislocation with concomitant multiligament injury and patellar tendon rupture. However, further studies with longer follow-up periods will be needed to observe the development of osteoarthritis or weakness of the knee. Staged surgical management is a safe and effective procedure for repairing an open knee dislocation with concomitant multiligament injury and patellar tendon rupture.

Background: Opioid consumption and patient satisfaction are influenced by a surgeon’s pain-management protocol as well as the use of adjunctive pain mediators. Two commonly utilized adjunctive pain modifiers for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are femoral nerve blockade and intra-articular injection; however, debate remains regarding the more efficacious methodology. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that intra-articular injection with ropivacaine and morphine would be found to be as efficacious as a femoral nerve block for postoperative pain management in the first 24 hours after bone–patellar tendon–bone (BTB) ACL reconstruction. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods: Charts were retrospectively reviewed for BTB ACL reconstructions performed by a single pediatric orthopaedic surgeon from 2013 to 2019. Overall, 116 patients were identified: 58 received intra-articular injection, and 58 received single-shot femoral nerve block. All patients were admitted for 24 hours. Pain scores were assessed every 4 hours. Morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) consumed were tabulated for each patient. Results: Opioid use was 24.3 MMEs in patients treated with intra-articular injection versus 28.5 MMEs in those with peripheral block ( P = .108). Consumption of MMEs was greater in the intra-articular group in the 0- to 4-hour period (7.1 vs 4.6 MMEs; P = .008). There was significantly less MME consumption in patients receiving intra-articular injection versus peripheral block at 16 to 20 hours (3.2 vs 5.6 MMEs; P = .01) and 20 to 24 hours (3.8 vs 6.5 MMEs; P < .001). Mean pain scores were not significantly different over the 24-hour period (peripheral block, 2.7; intra-articular injection, 3.0; P = .19). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, we could identify no significant difference in MME consumption between the single-shot femoral nerve block group and intra-articular injection group in the first 24 hours postoperatively. While peripheral block is associated with lower opioid consumption in the first 4 hours after surgery, patients receiving intra-articular block require fewer opioids 16 to 24 hours postoperatively. Given these findings, we propose that intra-articular injection is a viable alternative for analgesia in adolescent patients undergoing BTB ACL reconstruction.
