Abstract

Larsen's syndrome is a very rare deformity, which is characterized by multiple congenital dislocations with a characteristic facial abnormality. The authors experienced a case of typical Larsen's syndrome that had saddle nose, hypertelorism, high-arched palate, dislocation of the hip joint, subluxation of the knee joint, dislocation of both radial heads, equinovarus deformities of both feet and winged scapulae of both shoulders. The dislocated left hip joint was reduced surgically and the result was excellent.
