The Morquio syndrome is a rare disorder which presents with a number of musculoskeletal problems. The literature describing total knee replacement in these patients is sparse. We describe the management of a patient with bilateral instability and pain in the knees using bilateral constrained knee replacements, and followed up for five years with pre- and postoperative knee scores. We highlight the difficulties encountered and discuss the end results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
