Fixed Flexion Deformity

Tarsal–carpal coalition syndrome is a progressive condition involving synostosis of the wrist, ankle and digits. We describe a mother and her newborn that have this rare inherited condition where the diagnosis was made only after the baby’s birth. The baby’s condition was suspected on antenatal scanning, and he was born with reduced range of motion of his digits, elbows and ankles. The mother’s condition has progressed to involve a fixed flexion deformity of her bilateral elbows, synostoses of her second to fifth digits and extensive coalition of her tarsal and carpal bones. She has required regular osteotomies to improve limb functioning and quality of life.

Fixed Flexion Deformity

<p class="abstract">Ulnar hemimelia is a rare postaxial partial or complete longitudinal deficiency of ulna. It has an estimated incidence of 1/100,000-150,000 live births, with a male to female ratio of 3:2. There is usually ulnar deviation of hand and shortening of forearm. Radial head subluxation and fixed flexion deformity of the hand may be associated with it. Complex carpal, metacarpal, and digital abnormalities including absence of triquetrum, capitate and three fingered hand (tridactyly) are additional findings commonly found in association. Here, we present a case of a 17-year-old female with left sided ulnar club hand due to isolated partial ulnar aplasia.</p>

Fixed Flexion Deformity

David Bailey, who is 14 years old, has a left transverse total forearm deficiency and bilateral longitudinal femur partial deficiencies. The latter fall into Torode and Gillespie's Group I, with marked femoral shortening. A wedge osteotomy was performed for his gross right coxa vara, which was successful, but an intractable fixed flexion deformity of the right knee led eventually to a knee disarticulation being performed.

Fixed Flexion Deformity

A 13-year-old girl with seizure disorder presented with 90º fixed flexion deformity of right elbow. She had history of encephalitis, 2 years ago, from which she recovered completely except for the deformity of the elbow. Plain X-ray revealed extensive ossification of the brachialis muscle from its origin at the lower anterior aspect of the humerus to its insertion at the coronoid process of the ulna. The alkaline phosphatase value was 500 IU. The middle segment of the ossified mass was surgically excised. The mobility of the elbow was restored and she achieved a range of movement between 45–120º.
