Recurrent Knee Flexion Contractures in a 10 Year Old with Arthrogryposis

This case presents a young adolescent male with arthrogryposis who had multiple surgeries for correction of severe knee flexion deformities. The last surgery was at the age of 12 years when he had full correction of his deformities by means of an Ilizarov frame. Despite recurrence of the deformities, he is still ambulating and functioning well. This case examplifies the frustration of managing knee flexion deformities in children with arthrogryposis as these patients have a high recurrence rate of these deformities even after having obtained full correction.
