 == Additional Info ==
+*A muscle contracture is a tightening or shortening of muscles. It causes joint stiffness and can happen in any joint. You may get contractures from having to stay in bed for a long time. For example, it might happen when you have a chronic illness, a serious injury, or surgery with a long recovery time.
+'''Excludes:'''
+* true joint contractures - '''[[Joint disorder, nontraumatic NOS]]'''
+** Much more rarely, there can be a Joint Contracture, which is a tightening of the tissues of the joint capsule itself (separate from muscles that insert on joint structures).  We have '''NOT''' included joint contracture as a separate entity, but if present you should use '''[[Joint disorder, nontraumatic NOS]]''' for it.
