Intra-articular collagenase injection increases range of motion in a rat knee flexion contracture model
Objectives A knee joint contracture, a loss in passive range of motion (ROM), can be caused by prolonged immobility. In a rat knee immobilization flexion contracture model, the posterior capsule was shown to contribute to an irreversible limitation in ROM, and collagen pathways were identified as differentially expressed over the development of a contracture. Collagenases purified from Clostrid...
متن کاملVicious Cycle of Multiple Invasive Treatments in a Hemophilic Inhibitor Positive Child with Resistant Knee Flexion Contracture, A Case Report
Uncontrolled recurrent hemarthrosis can end to contracture, deformity, pain, joint destruction and gait disorders which are disabling. We are going to report a challenge, a unilateral knee flexion contracture in a child with severe hemophilia A and inhibitor who underwent different treatment options with unsatisfactory improvement of knee range of motion. Mismanaging postoperatively, patient ...
متن کاملSupracondylar femoral osteotomy for knee flexion contracture resulting from poliomyelitis.
Supracondylar femoral osteotomy was performed on 82 patients between 8 and 25 years of age to correct knee flexion contractures of 15 to 95 degrees resulting from poliomyelitis. Seven who could not walk before the osteotomy could do so afterwards and 21 out of22 patients were cured ofa hand-knee gait. Thirty-four of53 who walked with a caliper were able to discard it. Residual flexion contractu...
متن کاملSurgical Release of Severe Flexion Contracture for Oncologic Knee Arthroplasty
BACKGROUND Severe postoperative knee contractures after arthroplasty or megaprosthesis reconstruction occur rarely, but are devastating complications. Management of preoperative flexion contractures is well-described, but there is a paucity of literature for surgical treatment of postoperative contractures. A retrospective chart review was performed for a single surgeon of cases between 1996 an...
متن کاملEffectiveness of rosiglitazone in reducing flexion contracture in a rabbit model of arthrofibrosis with surgical capsular release
AIMS Animal models have been developed that allow simulation of post-traumatic joint contracture. One such model involves contracture-forming surgery followed by surgical capsular release. This model allows testing of antifibrotic agents, such as rosiglitazone. METHODS A total of 20 rabbits underwent contracture-forming surgery. Eight weeks later, the animals underwent a surgical capsular rel...
