Gradual joint distraction of post-traumatic flexion contracture of the proximal interphalangeal joint by a mini-external fixator.
We present the outcome of the treatment of chronic post-traumatic contractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint by gradual distraction correction using an external fixator. A total of 30 consecutive patients with a mean age of 34 years (17 to 54) had distraction for a mean of 16 days (10 to 22). The fixator was removed after a mean of 29 days (16 to 40). Assessment at a mean of 34 months (...
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 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 کاملCorrection of knee flexion contracture at the time of surgical fixation of a femoral supracondylar fracture in a haemophiliac with inhibitors.
Introduction Haemophilia A is a congenital bleeding disorder due to the lack of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). The standard treatment is based on administration of plasma-derived or recombinant FVIII concentrates. The natural history of the disease includes recurrent bleeding into joints and the major long-term disability in affected patients is chronic arthropathy. The life expectancy of pat...
متن کاملThe Flexion Contracture Of The Knee Correlates With Posterior Offset Ratio After Total Knee Arthroplasty
Introduction: Improving the postoperative knee motion in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has become a major goal for orthopaedic surgeons and joint prosthesis. The effect of the implant posterior condylar offset has recently generated much enthusiasm among researchers. [1] Some reports were concerned about the relationship between the posterior condylar offset and an extension gap. However, the p...
