[Congenital knee luxation].
The authors discuss the frequency, etiology, symptoms and classification as well as treatment of congenital dislocation of the knee. 8 own cases are reported in the article. The authors suggest that congenital dislocation of the may be well influenced by non-operative methods. Etappe redressement by means of plaster does not interfere with the functional treatment of the hip dislocation usually treated with the Pavlik braces. Associated foot deformities may be easily corrected at the same time. The so called "earliest treatment" is most important in all the three deformities (knee-hip dislocation, club foot), the authors emphasise.
