ABSTRACT

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) involves congenital joint contractures and presents anesthetic challenges. We present a patient with AMC and substance use disorder undergoing orthopedic surgery. A difficult airway was anticipated, neuromuscular blockers were avoided, and epidural analgesia provided effective pain control.
