Summary
This study presents four cases of congenital dislocation of the knee, exploring its incidence, associated anomalies, and etiology. Key roentgenographic findings are highlighted to aid in understanding this rare condition.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Pediatric Orthopedics
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Congenital dislocation of the knee (CDK) is a rare developmental abnormality.
- Understanding the etiology and associated conditions is crucial for diagnosis and management.
Observation:
- Presents four distinct cases of congenital dislocation of the knee.
- Details the clinical presentation and patient history for each case.
Findings:
- Discusses the incidence and common etiologies of CDK.
- Analyzes associated congenital anomalies frequently seen with CDK.
