Congenital Dislocation of the Knee: 2 Cases / 대한정형외과학회잡지

ABSTRACT

Congenital dislocation of the knee is very rare deformity and presents with anterior displacement of the tibia in relation to the femur. Early gentle manipulation and serial splintage or plaster cast is recommended for treatment and successful in the majority except the case of quadriceps contracture or late correction. We experienced two cases of bilateral congenital dislocation of the knee who had been treated with early gentle manipularion, immobilization with serial corrective dual splint, passive stretching and night splint. Our results are good in both cases.
