Am J Perinatol. 1993 May;10(3):194-6. doi: 10.1055/s-2007-994717.

Abstract

Congenital dislocation of the knee was diagnosed antenatally in an abdominal flat plate. This is probably the first time that this condition has been diagnosed prior to delivery. Examination of the newborn after delivery revealed dislocation of the right hip and knee. The obstetric and orthopedic implications and suggested treatment are discussed.
