MANAGEMENT OF SEVERE KNEE FLEXION CONTRACTURES IN A CHILD WITH ARTHROGRYPOSIS MULTIPLEX CONGENITA

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita is a syndrome characterized by the presence of congenital contractures involving multiple joints usually with flexion deformities, with or without pterygia or webbing at the joints.

The aim of this case report was to highlight the challenges of management of severe knee contractures in AMC and possible solutions in a resource limited setting like ours. We presented a one-year-old child with bilateral severe knee contractures secondary to arthrogryposes.
