Dislocation of knee has been long considered a rare injury. They are true orthopaedic emergencies and are associated with extensive ligamentous damage and increased potential for vascular complications associated with these injuries. Significant soft tissue injury is necessary for a knee dislocation to occur. We report one case of Anterior dislocation of knee with anteromedial ligamentous instability, most dislocations occur as a result of high velocity trauma. We describe a case of a 50 Yr old male patient who presented with pain, swelling and deformity of left knee. Following physical examination, radiographic assessment, Anterior dislocation of knee with anteromedial ligamentous instability was diagnosed. Immediate closed reduction of the dislocation followed by Open reconstruction of the ACL and repair of the MCL was carried out 3 weeks later. Anterior dislocation of knee needs to be addressed with proper planning and evaluated thoroughly for ligamentous injury and neurovascular injury both clinically and radiographically with early repair of ligamentous disruptions
