Congenital knee dislocation

ORPHA:295034Morphological anomaly

What it is

A rare congenital limb malformation characterized by either hyperextension of the knee greater than 0° associated with limited flexion (congenital genu recurvatum) or permanent knee flexion with limited extension (congenital genu flexum). It can be unilateral or bilateral and may occur as an isolated malformation, be associated with other orthopedic abnormalities (like developmental dysplasia of the hip or clubfoot), or be part of a syndrome (e. g. Larsen's syndrome, arthrogryposis multiplex congenita).

ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.
