Abstract

Genu Recurvatum is a rare congenital anomaly involving the knees. Most of the cases are sporadic, and if isolated, carry a good prognosis. Syndromic association tend to be present, and if so, the diagnosis becomes important. Early diagnosis and counseling remain the key as the couple can make an early decision on the pregnancy. Proper counseling would also help the couple in knowing what to expect postnatally. One, or maybe more than one, surgeries may be required for its correction and the gait may never be completely normal. We present a case series diagnosed by ultrasound at our center between January 2014 and 2020. Through this concise article, we aim to give a key to antenatal diagnosis and postnatal management of this rare condition.
