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 کاملJudet quadricepsplasty for extension contracture of the knee.
Extension contracture of the knee is a well known complication of severe femoral fractures, especially in the supracondylar region. Traditional management by the Thompson quadricepsplasty may result in a variable return of knee flexion and the possibility of significant extension lag. The Judet technique of quadricepsplasty offers the advantages of a controlled, sequential release of the intrin...
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...
متن کاملArthroscopic lysis of adhesions for stiff total knee arthroplasty.
The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic lysis of adhesions after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in improving range of motion (ROM) and providing an improvement in knee function. The authors retrospectively examined 19 patients who underwent arthroscopic lysis of adhesions following TKA due to poor ROM. The criterion for lysis was the inability to flex to 90° at 3 mont...
متن کاملA modified Thompson quadricepsplasty for extension contracture resulting from femoral and periarticular knee fractures.
BACKGROUND The lack of knee flexion is an increasingly recognized complication of femoral and periarticular knee fractures. This is a significant challenge for both surgeon and patients. METHODS This article reports the clinical outcomes of 40 knees in 40 patients who underwent a modified Thompson quadricepsplasty. They were 36 men and 4 women. We performed a modified Thompson quadricepsplast...
