- Abstract
Although humeral shortening as a sequel of septic arthritis of the shoulder in infants has been reported in previous studies, functional disorders of the shoulder resulting from humeral shortening have not yet been clarified. In this study, we retrospectively investigated the long-term outcome of septic arthritis of the shoulder in neonates and infants and examined the relationship between growth disturbance of the humerus and decreased range of motion with respect to glenohumeral joint laxity.
