Frailty is a predictor of immediate postoperative complications following surgical management of knee dislocations.

Purpose: To assess the utility of frailty in predicting outcomes following surgical intervention for KDs.

Methods: The NIS database was queried for non-congenital knee dislocations from 2015 to 2019 that underwent ligament repair or surgical reduction. Patients were assigned frailty scores using the mFI-11, and outcomes were compared.
