Knee Dislocation - Common Knee Injuries Among Athletes
Knee dislocations can be classified into high-velocity and low-velocity categories. High-velocity knee dislocations are generally caused by a violent force, such as vehicular accidents. Meanwhile, low-velocity knee dislocations often occur in sports settings.
Knee dislocation occur in athletes when the foot is planted on the floor and a rapid change of direction or twisting motion occurs. This is common in sports like soccer, cycling, skiing, gymnastics, and the long jump.
