@drjoe_md: Knee dislocations, although relatively rare, can have serious complications, including arterial dissection. In cases of knee dislocation, the forceful displacement of the knee joint can injure the surrounding blood vessels, potentially leading to arterial dissection. This occurs when the inner layers of the artery tear, creating a false channel for blood flow. Such injuries are considered vascular emergencies, as they can compromise blood supply to the lower leg. Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial to address both the knee dislocation and the associated arterial dissection to prevent further complications. #kneeinjury #basketball #bbl #doctor #emergencymedicine
