XAVIER, Marta et al. Congenital Knee Dislocation - A challenge in prenatal diagnosis. Acta Obstet Ginecol Port [online]. 2024, vol.18, n.2, pp.157-161.  Epub 30-Jun-2024. ISSN 1646-5830.  https://doi.org/10.69729/aogp.v18i2a08.

Congenital knee dislocation (CKD), a rare yet impactful condition, presents challenges in diagnosis and treatment. We report a clinical case of a prenatally diagnosed CKD at 31+4 weeks of gestation, emphasizing multidisciplinary management’s pivotal role. An early orthopedic intervention, with conservative measures, was fundamental to achieve a favorable infant outcome, underlining the importance of timely diagnosis and expert care. Prenatal CKD ultrasound screening therefore emerges as a crucial tool in guiding therapeutic decisions, optimizing postnatal outcomes, and reducing the need for surgical intervention.
