The authors discuss the indications and describe the technique of arthromyolysis of the elbow in arthrogryposis and report 17 operations performed on 10 patients followed up after an average of 4.5 years. Their results show that this type of operation considerably improves passive mobility of the elbow and is capable of conferring adequate function on the limb, even without recourse to subsequent muscle transposition into the paralysed biceps.
