Introduction: Knee dislocations are rare but potentially limb-threatening injuries to the knee joint. It is of interest in emergencies because they usually occur in context of multiple injuries and due to the possibility of vascular compromise to the affected limb. Case Presentation: We hereby report the case of a 53-year-old man who sustained a right knee lateral dislocation after a fall from a moving construction vehicle. The knee dislocation was managed by open reduction after an unsuccessful attempt of closed reduction. Subsequently, the joint was stabilized using external fixation. The short term and long-term evolution were favorable. Conclusion: The acute management of traumatic knee dislocations should be timely and adapted based on individual cases. Thus, if manual reduction fails, open reduction with external fixation may be considered
