Details
The term Arthrogryposis describes a range of
congenital contractures that lead to childhood deformities. It
encompasses a number of syndromes and sporadic deformities that are rare
individually but collectively are not uncommon. Yet the existing
medical literature on Arthrogryposis is sparse and often confusing. The
aim of this book is to provide health care professionals, individuals
affected with arthrogryposis, and their families with a helpful guide to
better understand the condition and its therapy. With this goal in
mind, the editors have taken great care to ensure that the presentation
of complex clinical information is at once scientifically accurate,
patient oriented, and accessible to readers without a medical
background.
The book is authored primarily by members of the
medical staff of the Arthrogryposis Clinic at Children's Hospital &
Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, one of the leading teams in the
management of the condition, and will be an invaluable resource for both
health-care professionals and families of affected individuals.
