Larsen syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by multiple joint dislocations, skeletal abnormalities, and craniofacial dysmorphism.
Larsen syndrome mainly affects the large joints, such as the hip, knee, and elbow, and may be associated with breathing problems, heart problems, and developmental delays.
Diagnosis is made through clinical evaluation, x-rays and , in some cases, through genetic testing to detect mutations.
Orthopedic treatment is mainly symptomatic and aims to manage the complications of the syndrome, such as joint dislocations and deformities, through orthoses, physiotherapy, and surgery.
