Outcomes at 2-Year Minimum Follow Up of Shoulder, Elbow and Wrist Surgery in Individuals with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita

Abstract

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.
