We describe a case of congenital popliteal pterygium in conjunction with other specific congenital malformations. This syndrome has been called the quadruple syndrome. The literature is reviewed. A rationale for more aggressive treatment of this deformity is discussed. One child who has undergone major multiple nerve grafts as a part of the primary corrective surgery is reported. Her result has been pleasing to the patient, the parents, and the surgeons.
