Knee Joint

Knee Joint

The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

Data Reporting and Recording

Data Reporting and Recording

Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...

Reporter Genes

Reporter Genes

Reporter genes are a type of protein-coding gene that are often tagged to a gene of interest. Once inside a target cell, reporter genes usually produce visually identifiable characteristics like fluorescence and luminescence when expressed along with the gene of interest. Thus, reporter genes “report” the presence or absence of genes of interest in an organism, determine the gene expression pattern, or track the physical location of a DNA segment or protein in the cell.

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Pediatric Surgery
Medical Genetics

Background:

Congenital knee dislocation (CKD) is a rare anomaly affecting newborns, characterized by tibial displacement relative to the femur.
While etiology is multifactorial, involving genetic and mechanical factors, CKD predominantly affects females.
Incidence is reported as 0.017 per 1000 live births.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a case of isolated congenital knee dislocation (CKD) in a full-term newborn.
To highlight the successful conservative management and favorable prognosis of CKD with timely diagnosis.

Main Methods:

Clinical diagnosis through physical examination revealing genu recurvatum in reducible hyperextension.
Radiographic confirmation of grade III dislocation.
Conservative treatment involving manual reduction and immobilization with a thigh splint.

Main Results:

Successful manual reduction and immobilization were achieved.
Significant improvement was observed within 7 days of treatment.
At 5 months post-treatment, the patient exhibited satisfactory evolution with no functional limitations.

Conclusions:

Congenital knee dislocation (CKD) presents with varying severity grades and etiologies.
Early clinical and radiographic diagnosis is crucial for effective management.
Conservative treatment is effective for Grades I-II CKD, while Grade III may necessitate surgical intervention, though this case demonstrated success with conservative measures.
