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

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.
