Knee dislocation

• Rare in children

• Physeal seperation > dislocation or ligament injury

• If dislocation occurs:

– Vascular compromise

– Compartment syndrome

Patellar dislocation

• Common in adolescent and teenager

• Typically

– Female

– Loose jointed

– Genu valgum with increased femoral anteversion

– Who are trying sports


• Reduced before patient comes to the hospital

• P/E– Hemarthrosis, – tenderness along medial

border of patella– Lateral position of patella– Fairbanks sign

• X-ray– Loose fragment

• Lateral femoral condyle• Medial edge of the

patella

– 5-10% osteochondralfracture

Patellar dislocation F/13

Patellar dislocation F/13


• Treatment– 3-4wks of immobilization

– Early PT to strengthen vastus medialis

– Fracture of medial patella or lateral femoral condyle• Acute arthrotomy

• Ligament repair

• Excision or fixation of the fracture

• Repair of the medial capsule and patellofemoralligament


• Recurrent dislocation– 15-20%– Due to faulty anatomy

• Increased quadriceps angle• Femoral condyle hypoplasia• Shallow femoral sulcus• Atrophy of vastus medialis• Lateral patellar tilt• Lax joint

– Treatment• Soft tissue realignment• Semitenidnosus tenodesis to

patella• Tibial tubercle transfer (after

physeal closure)

A. Lateral retinacular release and medial imbrication. B. Semitendinosis tenodesis. C. Elmslie-Trillat procedure.

Patellar fractures

• Bipartite patella– Located superolaterally– 40% bilateral– Fracture line may propagate

through the synchondrosisdifficult diagnosis

• Sleeve fracture– Avulsion fracture of the lower

pole– With little or no bone– Difficult to

recognizeextensor lag– Open reduction

Tibial eminance fracture

• 8 to 14 yrs old

• Bicycle injury and other sports activity

• 40%: meniscus, capsule or collateral ligaments or with osteochondral fracture

ACL insertion

• 10 to 14 mm behind the anterior border of the tibia

• Extends to the medial and lateral tibial eminence

Classification

• Meyer and McKeever(1959)– Type I: Nondisplaced

– Type II: Anterior cortical displacement with intact posterior cortex

– Type III: completely displaced with no bone contact

– Type IV: comminuted

Type I Type II Type III Type IV

• Immobilization 6wks– 20 degrees flexion or full extension– Late displacement of type I does occur

• Unreduced displaced fracture– Impingement– Extension limitation

• Irreducible fracture– Bowstringing or bucket-handle

mechanism• Anterior horn of the lateral meniscus is

torn from its tibial attachment but remains attached to the fracture piece

– Interposition of • Anaterior horn of the medial meniscus, • Anterior horn of the lateral meniscus • Intermeniscal ligament

• Suture or screw fixation– Suture: small comminuted frgament– Screws: larger than 15mm fragment

• Irritate the joint• May require removal

• Complications– LOM: impingement, arthrofibrosis– Nonunion– Maluniondebridement and notchplasty– Quadriceps atrophy– Growth arrest – Ligament laxity: elongation of the ACL?

Tibial tubercle fracture

• Closure of the physis of the tubercle

– Girls: 13-15

– Boys: 15-19

• Injury

– Common in boys between 12 and 17

– Eccentric contracture of the quadriceps

• Watson-Jones, Ogden classification

Type I: avulsion of a small fragment of the distal tubercle

(subtype B: fragment seperated from metaphysis)

Type II: involves the entire secondary ossification center, apex is at the level of the proximal tibial physis

(subtype B: comminuted ossification center)

Type III: Extends into the knee joint

(subtype B: comminuted fragment)

• X-ray: better viewed with knee slight internal rotation

• 4-6wks of immobilization

• ORIF from type IB

• Complications

– Anterior tibialrecurrent artery

– Physeal arrest

Proximal tibial physeal fracture• More physeal seperation in distal

femur than proximal tibia

1) MCL attached to tibialmetaphysis and femoral epiphysis, protecting from valgus injury

2) Upper end of fibula acts as lateral buttress

3) Semimembranosus muscle inserts distal to the physisposteromedially

4) Tibial tubercle projects from the epiphysis over the metaphysis



















Proximal tibial metaphyseal fracture

• Posterior tibial artery injury

• Post union valgus deformity

– Asymmetrical growth stimulation of the proximal tibial physis

– Asymmetrical growth stimulation of the medial proximal metaphysis

– Tibial physis stimulated more or longer than fibular physis

– Valgus at the time of fracture

– Soft tissue interposition(ex: pesanserinus)

– Physeal injury

7 post-traumatic tibia valga

• 11 mths to 6 yrs old

• Valgus appeared during fracture healing and after union

• Most rapid progression during 1st year

• Overgrowth may accompany

• Clinical correction in 6/7

• Conservative approach

32 proximal tibia fracture

• Avg age 7.1 yrs

• 28 post traumatic tibia valga(90.3%)

• Avg angulation 5.5 degrees

• 5.3mm overgrowth

• 11 patients more than 5 degrees angulation

6 partial and 3 complete remodeling

Diaphyseal fractures of tibia

• 15% of long bone fracture

• Avg age 8 yrs old

• Boys>girls

• With fibular fracture

– 30%

– Complete fracture by high energy

– Valgus shortening of distal fragment

• Without fibular fracture

– Rotational force

– Varus shortening

– Low energy injury

A. Fractures involving the mid 1/3 of the tibia and fibula may shift into a valgus alignment due to the activity of the muscles in the anterior and the lateral compartments of the lower leg.

B. Fracture of the mid tibia without fibular fracture tend to shift into varus d/t the force created by the anterior compartment musculature of the lower leg and the tethering effect of the intact fibula.

– Recreate force of injury:

• Plantar flexion, supination or adduction

– Longitudinal traction

– Bring foot around to neutral position

– Gap

Ankle Fractures

• Pediatric ankle fracture by Poland1) The growth plate forms a plane of weakness

2) Ligaments are stronger than bone

3) Certain injuries will affect growth

Plus

1) Fracture rarely disturb talo-tibial relationship

2) From age 14 to 15 years onward, adult pattern of fracture emerges
