clinical instability of the knee and functional differences following tibial plateau fractures versus distal femoral fractures
background fractures of the knee account for about 6% of all trauma admissions. while its management is mostly focused on fracture treatment, it is not the only factor that defines the final outcome. objectives this study aimed to study objective and subjective outcomes after proximal tibial versus distal femoral fractures in terms of knee instability and health-related quality of life. patient...
متن کاملCompartment Syndrome of the Thigh Following Manipulation to Treat Knee Stiffness after Total Knee Arthroplasty
A 67-year-old man developed compartment syndrome of the thigh following manipulation for treatment of knee stiffness after a total knee arthroplasty. Three months earlier, he had undergone arthroscopic synovectomies twice for treatment of septic arthritis in the same leg. Manipulation for treatment of stiffness concomitant with periarticular inflammation is a possible risk factor of compartment...

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...
