    Abstract:
    Congenital dislocation of the knee (CDK) is a rare disease and may be associated with other congenital and musculoskeletal disorders. We report our result in the treatment of a patient with CDK and DDH that treated with serial casting and Pavlik harness. Early diagnosis of the CDK is very important non operative treatment usually provides more stabile, greater range of motion and much more quadriceps strength than the surgical treatment. Early reduction of dislocation prevents formation of the knee contracture.
