Abstract
Congenital knee ankylosis is a rare condition which might be accompanied with other abnormalities or not. To our knowledge, there is no report on true bony ankylosis of the knee. The only ones in the literature include fibrous knee ankylosis. Thus this seems to be the first presentation of true congenital bony fusion of the knee joint.
