Proximal rectus femoris lengthening.
نویسندگان
چکیده
There are two main problems with muscle tendon lengthening: thinness created by the technical procedure weakens the tendon, and in short tendons, lengthening may not provide enough length for the amount of joint motion required. In proximal rectus femoris lengthening, the distal ends of the reflected and straight heads are sutured together. Using this technique, the tendon will not be thinned, and a later second lengthening is possible.

Rectus femoris to gracilis muscle transfer with fractional lengthening of the vastus muscles: a treatment for adults with stiff knee gait.
BACKGROUND Stiff knee gait, which may be seen in patients with upper motor neuron injury, describes a gait pattern with a relative loss of sagittal knee motion. It interferes with foot clearance during swing, often leading to inefficient compensatory mechanisms and ambulatory dysfunction. Distal rectus femoris muscle transfers and fractional lengthening of the vastus muscles have been performed...

1 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA Stiff knee gait is often seen in patients with upper motor neuron injury. It describes a gait pattern with relative loss of sagittal knee motion. This aberrant gait interferes with foot clearance during swing, often leading to inefficient compensatory mechanisms and ambulatory dysfunction. At our institution, we h...
متن کاملSurgical repair of a chronic rupture of the rectus femoris muscle at the proximal musculotendinous junction in a soccer player.
A rare case is presented of a longstanding rupture of the rectus femoris muscle at the proximal musculotendinous junction in a semiprofessional soccer player. Its different and unique presentation, the surgical repair, and the remarkable functional recovery are discussed.
متن کاملTask-Dependent Inhomogeneous Muscle Activities within the Bi-Articular Human Rectus Femoris Muscle
The motor nerve of the bi-articular rectus femoris muscle is generally split from the femoral nerve trunk into two sub-branches just before it reaches the distal and proximal regions of the muscle. In this study, we examined whether the regional difference in muscle activities exists within the human rectus femoris muscle during maximal voluntary isometric contractions of knee extension and hip...
متن کاملSurgical Management of Rectus Femoris Avulsion Among Professional Soccer Players
BACKGROUND Rectus femoris injuries are common among athletes, especially in kicking sports such as soccer; however, proximal rectus femoris avulsions in athletes are a relatively rare entity. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to describe and report the results of an original technique of surgical excision of the proximal tendon remnant followed by a muscular suture repair. Our ...
