Congenital dislocation of the knees--report on two cases treated without surgery and a review of the literature.
The author reports on two cases of congenital dislocation of the knees submitted to orthopaedic treatment. The early treatment and the relatively benign nature of the main deformity and of the associated phenomena appear to have contributed to the excellent results obtained after a six year follow-up. A review of the literature on the subject is given.
