“…It was also shown in the study by Van Heest et al that completion of the procedure before age seven resulted in greater functional improvement. One wound infection occurred in the study by Van Heest et al, and healed without further complication following irrigation, debridement and antibiotics [8]. In the study by Foy et al, 13 patients required additional surgery (thenar slides, tricepsplasty, elbow release) but no other complications were noted [10].…”

Background: Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) is a rare condition that has not been extensively studied, and the need for further research has been strongly emphasized. Despite substantial functional impact resulting from AMC, minimal research has been completed regarding mid-to long-term outcomes in this population. The objective of this systematic review was to identify existing knowledge concerning outcomes of shoulder, elbow and wrist surgery with a minimum two year follow-up in individuals with AMC.

Upper extremity involvement in patients with arthrogryposis multiplex congentia is quite frequent. Treatment initially consists of stretching and splinting as significant gains can be seen in the first years of life. The goal of any surgical procedure is to improve upper extremity function and performance of daily living activities, yet it is important to treat each patient individually and understand that areas do not always need to be addressed surgically. Despite overall lower functioning scores in this patient population, quality of life scores are comparable to the general aged adjusted population. This article will discuss the clinical presentation, treatment procedures and outcomes when addressing the upper extremities of patients presenting with arthrogryposis.

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is characterized by congenital joint contractures present in two or more body areas. Lack of fetal movement is the underlying cause of AMC, which can lead to abnormal connective tissue surrounding the joint resulting in stiffness and muscle atrophy. Treatment aims at improving function and mobility through surgical and/or conservative interventions. A scoping review was conducted to explore the existing knowledge of the evaluation and treatment of muscle and joint function in children with AMC. Three search engines were included and identified 1,271 articles. Eighty-seven studies met the selection criteria and were included in this review. All included studies focused on joints, 30 of which also assessed the muscle. Assessment most often included the position of the contractures (n = 72), as well as range of motion (n = 66). Interventions to improve muscle and joint function were reported in 82 of the 87 papers and included surgery (n = 70) and conservative interventions (n = 74) with bony surgery (i.e., osteotomy) the most common surgery and rehabilitation the most common conservative intervention. Recurrences of contractures were mentioned in 46 of the 68 studies providing a follow-up. Future studies should use validated measures to assess muscle and joint function, and conservative interventions should be described in greater detail and to include a longer follow-up.
