ABSTRACT
Congenital knee dislocation (CKD) is a rare condition that can present as an isolated finding or in association with genetic syndromes. It is most commonly diagnosed postnatally and classified into three grades based on severity. While generally having a favorable prognosis, particularly for milder cases, prompt treatment is crucial. We present a case of CKD successfully treated with conservative measures, with serial casting and Pavlik harness, in an otherwise healthy infant. This report aims to increase awareness of the clinical presentation and management of CKD in general practitioners given its rarity.
