Acute dislocation of the knee is a limb-threatening injury that often results in extensive soft-tissue damage and disruption of the popliteal blood vessels. We report a case of traumatic bilateral open knee dislocation with a type 42 A2 closed right tibial shaft fracture and right common peroneal nerve palsy. We are not aware of any other reports of such a combination of injuries.
