Abstract

Amyoplasia is the most common form of arthrogryposis (multiple congenital contracture).  It has an estimated incidence of one in 10,000 live births. Lower limb- Amyoplasia is a specific subtype with an estimated incidence of 1 in 75,000 - 100,000 live births. There are only 85 cases of lower limb Amyoplasia identified in literature, and there are no published cases from the Philippines.  We discuss a rare case of lower limb Amyoplasia in an 11-year-old Filipino female presenting with additional unique features of severe scoliosis (managed with spine correction surgery) and multiple skin dimples in the gluteal area. The study was performed according to the CARE guidelines for case reports.
