RESUMO
La luxación congénita de rodilla (LCR) es una patología muy poco frecuente cuyo diagnóstico se realiza al nacimiento por los hallazgos clínicos, confirmándose radiológicamente. Se ha relacionado con diversas etiologías, desde malas posiciones fetales intraútero hasta trastornos genéticos. El pronóstico dependerá del inicio precoz del tratamiento y de la asociación de otras anomalías congénitas. Presentamos 2 nuevos casos de LCR observados en nuestro hospital en el período de un mes, diagnosticados en los primeros momentos tras el nacimiento, ambos con buena evolución clínica
Congenital dislocation of the knee is a rare disease. The diagnosis is made at birth by clinical findings, and confirmed radiologically. It has been associated with various etiologies from intrauterine fetal malpositions to genetic disorders. The prognosis depends on early treatment and whether there are other congenital anomalies. We report two new cases of congenital dislocation of the knee, observed in our hospital during the period of a month, diagnosed immediately after birth, and both with a good clinical outcome
