Luxación recurrente habitual femorotibial en un paciente con Síndrome de Larsen

Abstract

Larsen syndrome (OMIM 150250) was first described in 1950 as an entity

Characterized by distinct facial features and dislocations of the multiple large

Joint, and cleft palate, hearing loss, and spinal abnormalities. The prevalence of Larsen syndrome is estimated to be one in 100,000 live births. Management of multiple large-joint dislocations often proves difficult with a tendency toward recurrence, particularly if a patient has complete dislocation of the knee .We treated a boy with a clinical habitual recurrence femorotibial luxation. We have not found in the literature any paper in our knowledge that describes the treatment of this rare pathology of a patient who completely dislocate the tibia anteriorly on the femur in the usual way.
