Abstract
-
Intraarticular proximal tibia fracture and dislocation patterns, that were proposed by Hohl and Moore, are generally caused by high energy mechanism . These fracture and dislocation patterns are known to be combined with injuries of popliteal artery, peroneal nerve and cruciate ligament in many cases. We experienced a case irreducible Hohl and Moore fracture-dislocation patterns type 2, in which posterior dislocation with medially displaced entire lateral condyle that could not be reduced by closed mean for fibular head blocking the proper reduction. Additionally, popliteal artery was entrapted into the fracture site. We carried out open reduction and screw fixation via posterior approach and with fibular osteomy. We followed the patient for 3 years.
