Bilateral instability of the knee, case report

Abstract

We detected right anteromedial and left posterolateral rotatory knee instability in a patient who admitted in the Orthopaedics Department of ‚ukurova University. The patient was a twenty-six year old female and sustained a car -vehicle accident. Six days after the injury, both knee ligaments were repaired. In the last examination, four years after the operation, the range of motion of the right and left knee were 130¡ and 120¡ of flexion respectively and 5¡ of extension lack in both. No signs of instability was observed. Lysholm scores of the knees were 90 on both. Traumatic ligament lesions of the knee are being hard to manage and rehabilitate. The goal of treatment is to restore the anatomy and stability as close as possible to the previous status. In this report, we present a case of rotary instability of both knees, which is rarely seen and hard to manage and rehabilitate.
