Injection-induced contracture of the quadriceps femoris muscle in children.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Contracture of the quadriceps femoris in children leads to limited knee flexion.1 Fairbank and Barret2 and Hnevkovsky3 believed the contracture was congenital or secondary to progressive idiopathic fibrosis of the vastus intermedius. Lloyd-Roberts and Thomas4 stipulated that multiple injections into the thigh might cause the contracture. Proximal release in the early stage and distal release in the late stage are the recommended treatments.5 Concomitant proximal and distal release in the early stage has not been reported previously. This article presents a case of quadriceps contracture due to multiple thigh injections in a young patient.

Progressive limitation of knee flexion secondary to an accessory quinticeps femoris muscle in a child: a case report and literature review.
We describe a symptomatic, progressive restriction of knee flexion due to an accessory quadriceps femoris in a nine-year-old girl. There was no history or findings of post-injection fibrosis, nor any obvious swelling of the affected quadriceps. At arthroscopy no intra-articular pathology was found. An accessory 'quinticeps femoris' was diagnosed by ultrasonography and MRI. Following excision of...
متن کاملInjection-induced contractures of the quadriceps in childhood. A comparison of proximal release and distal quadricepsplasty.
Thirty-two contractures of the quadriceps induced by injection in 17 children have been reviewed. The average age at presentation was 3 years 4 months. All the children had suffered a severe illness within the first few weeks of life and all had received intramuscular injections into the thigh. Three methods of treatment were used: conservative, distal quadricepsplasty, and proximal release. At...

CASE SUMMARY A 6-month-old cat was successfully treated for bilateral quadriceps contracture. Conventional treatments including surgery, dynamic flexion apparatus and physical therapy along with analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs resulted in temporary clinical improvement that was relapsing. The initiation of supplementary corticosteroid treatment with prednisolone coincided w...
متن کاملThe Effect of High-Intensity Interval Training and Continuous Training on the Desnutrin Gene Expression in the Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue and the Quadriceps Femoris Muscle Tissue of Obese Male Rats
Background. Desnutrin is an enzyme that catalyzes the first step of cytoplasmic triacylglycerol lipolysis from white adipose tissue and several other tissues, which are disrupted by the obesity and metabolic syndrome. Objectives. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of high-intensity interval training and continuous training on the desnutrin gene expression in the subcutaneous adipo...
متن کاملMalignant hyperthermia in infancy and identification of novel RYR1 mutation.
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) has been reported as non-existent in children less than 1 yr old, although several unconfirmed reports have been published. A case report of MH in a 6-month-old child is presented, with confirmation of MH susceptibility by in vitro contracture testing of quadriceps muscle at 13 yr old. Genetic analysis revealed a novel RYR1 mutation that substitutes arginine 2452 for...
