ABSTRACT

Introduction: congenital knee dislocation is one of the very rare anatomical alterations, whose diagnosis is based on the clinical findings obtained at birth and corroborated with radiological examinations. The evolution and complications that this pathology can bring will depend on the degree of severity and on the time of the initiation of the treatment, since an opportune treatment will lead to an adequate mobility and an appropriate psychomotor development.
Case: we present a case observed in our hospital with follow-up for five months, in which a gradual change of cruropic immobilizations and successive radiological controls was made. A clinical case review and bibliographic review is carried out.
Result: the present case shows a conservative management in a newborn with Congenital Knee Dislocation, with which an adequate reduction was obtained through opportune conservative management.
Conclusions: an appropriate diagnosis accompanied by an opportune treatment granted an effective recovery leading to an adequate mobility, avoiding serious musculoskeletal and psychosocial complications.
