The amount of lengthening is important. Lengthen generously to allow the joint to be functionally positioned. Overlengthening is seldom a problem in amyoplasia. Problems are nearly always due to undercorrection and recurrence. 2. Simple division may be necessary if the muscle is absent and only a tethering band remains. 3. Aponeurotomy is lengthening achieved by dividing the fibrous envelope encasing the muscle. This technique is used for muscles that attach to bone with little or no tendon. Examples include the semimembranosis and biceps muscles.
Prevent recurrent deformity by night splinting. If deformity does develop, correct the recurrence by serial casting. Untreated recurrent deformity becomes more fixed and severe with time, causing secondary cartilage and bony changes. Fixed, rigid recurrent deformity may require operative correction. Evaluation The evaluation necessary to establish a diagnosis was discussed in Chapter 1. In this section, the evaluation necessary for management is detailed. In most cases, a thorough musculoskeletal examination provides most of the information necessary to plan treatment.
