Open reduction for hip dislocation in children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenital: Outcomes of a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The incidence of hip dislocation (HD) in arthrogryposis multiplex congenital ranges from 15 to 30 %. Besides a stable hip, the ambulation potential of an AMC child is also dependent on severity of associated knee and foot deformations. The primary objective of this review is to determine the proportion of ambulators in AMC children treated by open reduction for HD.

Methods

We searched major electronic bibliographic databases for reports on the treatment of HD among AMC children. Based on the surgical approach for open reduction of HD in AMC children, we divided the included studies into groups 1 (Anterior approach open reduction) and 2 (Medial approach open reduction).

Results

We pooled 59 children/94 hips in this review from 7 studies. We identified 45 c
