ABSTRACT
Tendon laxity is a congenital disease that may be present in all four
limbs. A uterinemalposition, lack of uterine skeletal muscle tension, or tension of the
uterus, are the most common reasons for these congenital laxities. It is recommended
the application of oxytetracycline which accelerates the recovery process, in addition
to an initial ferule withfiberglass bandages for 7-10 days to fix the tendons,
physical therapy, swimming and walking in both soft and hard paths, and orthopedic
shoes attached and taped to correctthe angle of tweezers and heels.
