Abstract

Introduction

Knee dislocations (KDs) are complex injuries which are often associated with damage to surrounding soft tissues or neurovascular structures. A classification system for these injuries should be simple and reproducible and allow communication among surgeons for surgical planning and outcome prediction. The aim of this study was to formulate a list of factors, prioritised by high-volume knee surgeons, that should be included in a KD classification system.

Methods

A global panel of orthopaedic knee surgery specialists participated in a Delphi process. A list of factors to be included in a KD classification system was formulated by 91 orthopaedic surgeons, which was subsequently prioritised by 27 experts from 6 countries. The items were analysed to find factors that had at least 70% consensus for inclusion in a classification system.
