Abstract
Congenital dislocation of the knee was diagnosed antenatally in an abd ominal flat plate. This is probably the first time that this condition has been diagnosed prior to delivery. Examination of the newborn afte r delivery revealed dislocation of the right hip and knee. The obstetr ic and orthopedic implications and suggested treatment are discussed.
