The elbow in arthrogryposis.
Over 100 cases of arthrogryposis have been seen at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne in the past fifteen years and most of the patients are still under our care. This condition, which is characterised by multiple rigid joint deformities, occurs in families with an impeccable genetic background and there is no evidence of hereditary causation. The infants are born to young and older mot...
متن کاملPosterior elbow capsulotomy with triceps lengthening for treatment of elbow extension contracture in children with arthrogryposis.
BACKGROUND Flexion of one elbow is essential to enable children with arthrogryposis to achieve independent function such as self-feeding and self-care of the face and hair. We analyzed the outcomes of posterior elbow capsulotomy with triceps lengthening for the treatment of elbow extension contractures in a series of children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita. METHODS The medical record...
متن کاملTransfer of pectoralis major in arthrogryposis to restore elbow flexion: deteriorating results in the long term.
We present the long-term results of pectoralis major transfer to restore elbow flexion in seven patients (ten procedures). The early results in all the patients were encouraging but with longer follow-up a gradual and progressive flexion deformity was observed with a decrease in the arc of flexion in eight elbows, reaching > or = 90 degrees in all cases. The results of pectoralis major transfer...

متن کاملTHE NORMAL CARRYING ANGLE OF THE ELBOW IN SHIRAZ
The normal carrying angle in Shiraz population was measured on the basis of sex and age. The right elbow angle of 4266 cases was examined from birth to 30 years old. This study found the carrying angle in 2540 females to be 7.20 (range 2-19) and in 1726 males to be 6.40 (range 2-11), a 0.80 difference. A significant difference (p= 0.05) was found in relation to age. There is a gradual incr...
