A modified Thompson quadricepsplasty for the stiff knee.
Between March 1987 and March 1997, we performed a modified Thompson quadricepsplasty on 20 stiff knees and followed the patients for a mean of 35 months (24 to 52). After the operation, the knee was immobilised in flexion and periodically extended. At the final follow-up, the mean active flexion was 113.5 degrees (75 to 150). The final mean gain in movement was 67.6 degrees (5 to 105). One pati...
متن کاملPrognostic Factors Affecting the Results of Modified Thompson Quadricepsplasty for the Treatment of Extension Contracture of the Knee
Background: Knee extension contracture is a disabling complication after fractures around the knee. In this study we aimed to study factors influencing the outcomes of quadricepsplasty for the treatment of traumatic knee extension contracture. We hypothesized that there is no factor influencing the final range of knee motion.Methods: In this retrospective study, we included 64 patients who unde...
متن کاملKinematic and kinetic factors that correlate with improved knee flexion following treatment for stiff-knee gait.
Stiff-knee gait is a movement abnormality in which knee flexion during swing phase is significantly diminished. This study investigates the relationships between knee flexion velocity at toe-off, joint moments during swing phase and double support, and improvements in stiff-knee gait following rectus femoris transfer surgery in subjects with cerebral palsy. Forty subjects who underwent a rectus...
متن کاملTransient osteoporosis of the knee following trauma.
Transient osteoporosis is an uncommon, self-limiting, reversible condition. We report a case involving the knee following trauma. The aetiology is unknown, but the association between transient osteoporosis and trauma has not been documented previously. The clinical presentation represents a degree of overlap among various clinical syndromes, including reflex sympathetic dystrophy and avascular...
متن کاملPrognostic factors and long-term outcomes following a modified Thompson's quadricepsplasty for severely stiff knees.
Between 1987 and 2006 we performed a modified Thompson's quadricepsplasty on 40 fracture-related stiff knees and followed the patients for a mean of 7.9 years (2 to 11.1). The factors affecting the final gain of movement were investigated. A total of 15 knees required lengthening of the rectus femoris. The mean flexion gain was 70.2 degrees (42.3 degrees to 112.5 degrees ). According to Judet's...
