Arthrogryposis

Arthrogryposis associated with more than 300 different disorders and result from a range of developmental processes (neurogenic, myopathic, or connective tissue disorder) or environmental effects (intrauterine compression, maternal disease, teratogenic exposure or vascular insult). These x-rays show examples of limb abnormalities, postnatally visible externally and analysed by x-ray. See also recent review PMID 21851751.
