Abstract
Congenital dislocation of the knee is a rare disorder. Late presentation of congenital dislocation of the knee at an older age is a therapeutic challenge. A 12-year-old girl presented to us with congenital dislocation of the knee and with complaints of limp, short limb, and pain on weight bearing. Two-stage surgery was performed with quadricepsplasty followed by gradual distraction in the first stage and repeat quadricepsplasty, anterior capsular release, and open reduction in the second stage. The result was fair to good with a stable and painless knee on walking.
