Abstract

Larsen syndrome (LS) is a rare genetic disorder affecting mainly the connective tissues. It is characterized by characteristic facial anomalies, cervical kyphosis, cardiorespiratory disorders, and multiple joint dislocations. We present a case of a 15-year-old male with unstable neuropathic knee joint instability in a known case of LS. The paucity of literature on the management of this rare condition puts an orthopedician in dilemma regarding the optimal treatment.
