[Secondary changes in the hip joints of children with progressive muscular dystrophy].
The authors state that a marked hypotonia of the lower extremity muscles in children with progressive muscular dystrophy may lead to the development of secondary dislocations and semi-dislocations of the femur, which were detected in 18 of the 32 patients examined. Most of the patients had Werdnig-Hoffmann's spinal amyotrophy which was related to an especially gross muscular hypotonia.
