Abstract
We report the case of a late preterm small for gestational age baby girl presenting with deformities of both knees at birth. Diagnosis by radiologic investigation revealed bilateral knee joint dislocation and ultrasonography revealed developmental dysplasia of the hip. Concomitant treatment of the congenital dislocation of the knee with serial casting and the hip with Pavlik harness provided satisfactory results. Cases with delayed presentation or which do not respond to conservative treatment need surgery. Delay in treatment may lead to long-term instability and stiffness. Emphasis should be laid on the immediate recognition and treatment of the condition.
