Total knee arthroplasty in patients with greater than 20 degrees flexion contracture.
Fixed flexion contracture can present a technical challenge in total knee arthroplasty. Various techniques of addressing these deformities have been described including additional bony resection, ligamentous releases, and the use of increasing constraint. We retrospectively reviewed the clinical outcomes of 40 patients (52 knees) with fixed flexion contracture greater than or equal to 20 degree...
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...

PURPOSE To identify factors related to knee flexion after total knee arthroplasty in a Chinese population. METHODS Records of 242 total knee arthroplasties were retrospectively reviewed. The parameters evaluated were age, gender, diagnosis, preoperative knee flexion and extension, preoperative flexion arc, tibiofemoral angle, Knee Society knee score and functional score, and implant design. ...
متن کاملDynamic splinting for knee flexion contracture following total knee arthroplasty: a case report
Total Knee Arthroplasty operations are increasing in frequency, and knee flexion contracture is a common pathology, both pre-existing and post-operative. A 61-year-old male presented with knee flexion contracture following a total knee arthroplasty. Physical therapy alone did not fully reduce the contracture and dynamic splinting was then prescribed for daily low-load, prolonged-duration stretc...
متن کاملImproved knee flexion following high-flexion total knee arthroplasty
BACKGROUND The application of new techniques and materials in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) continue to be a primary focus in orthopedic surgery. The primary aim of the present study is to evaluate post TKA total range of motion (ROM) among a group of patients who received a gender specific high-flexion design modification implant compared to a control group of patients who received non-gender ...
