Congenital Dislocation of Knee

Abstract

Congenital dislocation of knee is a rare entity in clinical practice. A three-day-old newborn was admitted to hospital by his parents, with complaint of the abnormal position and hyperextension posture of his left knee. Several conservative and surgical methods have been described for treatment of this rare congenital knee instability.
