Congenital knee dislocation (CKD), a rare yet impactful condition, presents challenges in diagnosis and treatment. We report a clinical case of a prenatally diagnosed CKD at 31+4 weeks of gestation, emphasizing multidisciplinary management’s pivotal role. An early orthopedic intervention, with conservative measures, was fundamental to achieve a favorable infant outcome, underlining the importance of timely diagnosis and expert care. Prenatal CKD ultrasound screening therefore emerges as a crucial tool in guiding therapeutic decisions, optimizing postnatal outcomes, and reducing the need for surgical intervention.
