Abstract: Background: Congenital dislocation of the knee is a rare congenital anomaly. We were fortunate to have significant number of this patients. This study was undertaken to evaluate the result of surgical management of congenital dislocation of the knee.
Method: In this study total 12 patients (19 knees) were included. We compare this study with BELL, Atkins & Sharrard series on the basis of age, sex, pattern of involvement, birth order, birth presentation, associate deformity and syndrome, range of movement. Our average follow up was 3 year and 8 months.
Result: In this study 15 knees (78.95%) had good result and 4 knees had fair result (21.05%). In our series all 12 patients had ability to walk among which 8 patients were community walker and 4 patients were household walker. In our study only 1 patient (1 knee) had wound gaping (5.26%).
Conclusion: Most of the patients presented at late stage requiring higher chances of surgery. If patients are referred at early age, there is possibility of treatment with plaster and decreasing need of surgery. Patients of idiopathic knee had good result then syndromic knee.
