Congenital knee dislocation (CKD) is a rare disease with an estimated incidence of 1 per 100,000 live births, characterized by a rare musculoskeletal malformation in genu recurvatum deformity present at birth, affecting one or both lower limbs. The diagnosis may be suspected during ultrasound when observing that the situation of the extremities is not correct, and is confirmed by physical examination at birth, with plain radiography being helpful to establish the degree of severity. At present there are controversies regarding treatment and there is no definitive protocol. We present a new case of CKD, observed in the city of Manizales, diagnosed immediately after birth.
