It is reported the young laurel of boy 8 years old dislocates because of suffering from the inborn patella, one pair of knees has been crooked can't stand since borning, can only squat on the ground and walk like monkey. Treated and cured meticulously by the first affiliated hospital of PLA general hospital, finished " monkey child " at last in small the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Life, walk in upright of standing up like normal people.

Small the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is from Tianjin. After being born in, mother can't be stretched while finding one pair of knees of his, the left foot was unable, can only go down on one's knees and squat and walk after growing up. While going to the first affiliated hospital of PLA general hospital to see the doctor, chapter Yadong, chief physician of dept. of orthopedics, is checked and finds, the infant dislocates for the inborn patella of one pair of knees, getting clinical and comparatively rare, the most effective therapeutic method is that the surgery is reset at present. Zhang YaDong says, have 3 difficult points to should perform the operation: First, the deformity of flexing for a long time of infant's knee joint, blood vessel, serious contracture of nerve are shortened, extremely incident in the course of resetting to damage and result in having low limbs paralysis; Second, because of lacking normal stress stimulus, the infant's patella and femoral condyle abnormal development for a long time, the patella will also dislocate again after resetting; Third, because the knee joint surrounding tissue is in flexing for a long time to the odd-shaped unusual position, the joint capsule, tendon, muscle membrane, skin wither seriously. For this reason, the experts of this institute treat small the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in two stages. The first issue increases infants and draws strength step by step, elongate the tissue shortened in contracture such as total nerve of calf of the leg and tendon gradually; Second issue implement patella cut reduction, cooperate with the intersection of knee joint and rehabilitation of function while being postoperative. Temper through treatment and recovery of nearly 8 months, the infant can only squat to say good-bye to " monkey child " walking Life, walk in upright like normal child.

But because patient patella ossify yet before the 3 year old, X-ray slice difficult to develop, diagnose difficult in early days. Zhang YaDong reminds parents, if can't be stretched yet while finding a year old left and right knee joint of child, can't stand up, should reach the hospital treatment in time.
