Background: Popliteal artery injury is an uncommon complication of traumatic tibio-femoral dislocation. This study looks at the relationship between vascular injury, body mass index and outcomes of patients with tibio-femoral dislocation. Methods: In this series, patients with vascular injury were selected from those who had tibio-femoral dislocations. There were 42 patients, 11 of whom had popliteal artery trauma with 10 requiring arterial reconstruction. Results: There were six arterial contusions, three transections and one a complete avulsion with three concomitant venous and five nerve injuries. Most of the patients with arterial injury due to tibio-femoral dislocation were found to have a high body mass index. In addition, those patients who had poor outcomes such as major amputation, unstable knee joints and delayed rehabilitation were either obese or morbidly obese. Conclusion: Patients with high Body Mass Indices who are either obese or grossly obese appear to have a greater chance of tibio-femoral dislocation especially after trivial injuries and are more likely have delayed or missed arterial injuries than the non-obese population. They are also more prone to complications than non-obese patients with overall poorer outcomes.
