Neglected bilateral congenital recurvatum of the knee.
The authors report two cases of neglected bilateral congenital recurvatum of the knee, one in a ten-year-old girl and the other in a 23-year-old man. The treatment of this rare deformity in infancy and childhood is described. A surgical approach to the deformity, which is not known to have been reported, is also presented.
