  • Title: The management of arthrogryposis.
    Author: Williams P.
    Journal: Orthop Clin North Am; 1978 Jan; 9(1):67-88. PubMed ID: 643268.
    Abstract:
    Arthrogryposis has an evil reputation among orthopedic surgeons, for the deformities are known to be resistant to correction and relapse during growth is common. It is suggested that many of these difficulties have been due to a delay in initiating treatment, to the use of unsuitable methods such as manipulation, and to a lack of appreciation of the pathologic changes. The author's experience with a large number of personally treated cases has convinced him that aggressive surgical treatment in infancy and early childhood is more successful than previously accepted methods of care (Figs. 22, 23).
