“…They concluded their procedure provided worse outcomes, especially concerning subjective scores and one-leg hop tests, in patients with high-energy or KD-IV knee dislocations compared to those with lowenergy or lower-grade knee dislocations. Stannard et al [36] presented the Compass knee hinge (CKH) external fixator (Smith and Nephew, Memphis, TN, USA) in caring for knee dislocations. This device was designed to allow early ROM without overstressing the graft tissues.…”

“…Many authors advocate the use of aggressive rehabilitation to avoid postoperative stiffness despite the risk of placing excessive force on the graft tissue [5,12,13,24,36]. In recent papers, high subjective scores, reasonable stability, and a return to activities were achieved by performing simultaneous reconstruction of the ACL and PCL, as well as medial or lateral structures, followed by an aggressive rehabilitation protocol [5,12,13].…”

“…Fitzpatrick et al 15 performed a laboratory study demonstrating decreased forces in the ACL and PCL following placement of an articulated external fixator after multiligament reconstruction. Stannard et al 59 advocated hinged external fixator placement after surgery, showing a lower failure rate of the repaired or reconstructed ligaments with aggressive knee range-of-motion rehabilitation.…”

“…Em relação ao tipo de reabilitação, há muita ênfase e controvérsia sobre a necessidade e o tipo de imobilização; a maioria dos autores acredita que realizar um protocolo sem qualquer tipo de imobilização e carga precoce como, frequentemente, é realizado após a reconstrução isolada do LCA, leva à deterioração dos ligamentos reconstruídos ou reparados, causando a instabilidade residual (26,27,28,29) .…”

“…O uso de um fixador externo articulado é uma alternativa para a reabilitação das cirurgias de lesões complexas do joelho (16,23,28,42,43,44) . Neste modelo, após a reconstrução ou reparo multiligamentar, é utilizado um fixador externo articulado do joelho que permite a mobilidade precoce e agressiva da articulação apenas no plano sagital, ou seja, a flexo extensão é permitida, mas não as rotações, translações no plano anteroposterior nem a abertura medial ou lateral em varo e valgo.…”
