The management of knee dislocation in a child with Larsen syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present report, we describe a 3-year-old girl who presented with the full clinical and radiographic features of Larsen syndrome. The knee deformity in our patient was compatible with a complete (grade 3) anterior dislocation of the tibia on the femur. The reduction of knee dislocations in Larsen syndrome patients should be completed before treatment of the hips because 45 ̊ of knee flexion or greater is desirable to relax the hamstrings and to maintain the reduction of the hip.
