Examining the Schenck KD I Classification in Patients With Documented Tibiofemoral Knee Dislocations: A Multicenter Retrospective Case Series

Abstract

The Schenck classification system should only be used to describe dislocations with bicruciate injuries or with single-cruciate injuries that have clinical and/or radiological evidence of tibiofemoral dislocation. Based on the presented cases, the authors recommend the suffix modifications for subclassifying Schenck KD I injuries with the goal of improving communication, surgical management, and the design of future outcome studies.
