Total joint replacement in multiplex congenita contractures: a case report

摘要

A 34-year-old man with multiplex congenita contractures underwent replacement of 2 hips and 1 knee. Even though a good range of movement was achieved at surgery and intensive physiotherapy, his joints returned to their preoperative status within 2 years. This outcome suggests that total joint replacement has little to offer the patient with multiplex congenita contractures who has immobile joints.
