arthrogryposis

ar·thro·gry·po·sis

A0443900 (är′thrə-grə-pō′sĭs)n. pl. ar·thro·gry·po·ses (-sēz) The permanent fixation of a joint in a contracted position.

[arthro- + Late Latin grȳpōsis, hooking (from Late Greek grūpōsis, from Greek grūpousthai, to become hooked, from grūpos, hook-nosed).]

Arthrogryposis

arthrogryposis

[‚är·thrō‚grī′pō·səs] (medicine) Permanent fixation of a joint in a flexed position.

Arthrogryposis

a congenital disease manifested in flexure (contracture) of the joints of the extremities as a result of atrophy of the muscles and replacement of muscle fibers by fatty tissue. In arthrogryposis the upper extremities are pressed to the torso and the elbow joints are unbent; the wrists and fingers are bent and adducted, resembling the talons of a predatory bird. The lower extremities are bent and abducted at the hip joints and unbent at the knees. The feet are deformed (clubfoot). The treatment is orthopedic—corrective splints, operations, and exercises. The earlier the treatment, the better the results.

arthrogryposis

[ahr″thro-grĭ-po´sis] 1. persistent flexion of a joint.2. tetanoid spasm.

ar·thro·gry·po·sis

arthrogryposis

(är′thrə-grə-pō′sĭs)n. pl. arthrogrypo·ses (-sēz) The permanent fixation of a joint in a contracted position.

arthrogryposis multiplex congenita

A rare sporadic condition characterised by joint contractures, dislocations, rigid skeletal deformities (e.g., clubfoot or talipes equinovarus), skin atrophy and replacement of limb muscles with fibrous tissue. AMC is not a sui generis disease, but rather a descriptive term that signifies multiple congenital contractures. The aetiologies encompass both neurogenic and primary myopathic diseases, but most cases are not due to neuromuscular disease.

Pathogenesis
Uncertain; a common link may be intrauterine movement during a critical period of limb development.

Management
Arthrodesis.

arthrogryposis

Congenital fixation of the limb joints, usually in an extended position. The condition is probably due to a destructive disorder of the motor nerves to the muscles around the affected joints during the pregnancy.
