EXTERNAL FIXATION FOR CONGENITAL ARTHROGRIPHOSIS



Abstract

We present the case of an 8-year-old child with congenital multiple arthrogriphosis. The child had never walked and presented 80° fixed knee flexion and hips in a position of hyperrotation which enabled him to sit in a Buddha position. Talipes varus equin with non-reducible supination, compromised by rigid stiff upper limbs was resolved by multiple procedures and immobilization with an external fixator.
