Core Tip

Core Tip: Congenital knee dislocation is a rare condition, which accounts for 1% of congenital hip dislocations. According to a previous study, patients must be managed after birth immediately or up to 3 months. However, in the present case, the patient’s condition was neglected for 2 years for many reasons. Although in the literature V-Y quadricepsplasty (VYQ) was performed, in our surgical approach, VYQ plus semitendinosus and sartorius transfer were performed to fill the gap and increase muscle power. The outcome was satisfactory at 6 months follow up.
