ARVINIUS, C; LUQUE, R; DIAZ-CEACERO, C  and  MARCO, F. Congenital knee dislocation: case report. Acta ortop. mex [online]. 2016, vol.30, n.3, pp.147-149. ISSN 2306-4102.

Congenital knee dislocation is an infrequent condition with unknown etiology. In some cases it occurs as an isolated condition, while in others it coexists with associated conditions or syndromes. The treatment of congenital knee dislocation is driven by the severity and flexibility of the deformity. The literature includes from serial casting or the Pavlik harness to quadriceps tendon plasty or femoral osteotomies. We report herein the case of a congenital dislocation treated with serial casting with a good outcome.

Keywords : Knee; congenital dislocation; treatment; immobilization.
