Prenatal diagnosis and postnatal outcome of fetal congenital knee dislocation: systematic review of literature

CONCLUSIONS: CKD is a rare fetal anomaly with a prenatal diagnosis achievable from the early second trimester for which favorable outcome can be predicted when no associated anomalies are present. Prenatal diagnosis should include detailed US assessment and amniocentesis for extensive genetic studies, particularly in non-isolated cases. Postnatal early treatment achieves success in most cases without surgical intervention and leads to normal motor outlook. This article is protected by copyright.
