The daily life routine activities require a good range of knee motion, losing that after femur fracture is common problem can be triggered by extension contracture, flexion or combined contractures. This case report about 19-year-old male with unremarkable medical history who suffered from contracture no following wrongly applied plate for distal fracture, which was treated successfully surgica...

Objective The aim of this study was to ultrasonographically measure the dimensions proximal and distalpatellar fragments determine whether postoperative growth differences existbetween in children with congenital dislocation kneetreated by Niebauer Kings quadricepsplasty. Methods This retrospective included six congenitaldislocated knees four arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC)(3 girls; me...

Thirty-five patients with habitual dislocation of the patella in flexion were reviewed; eight were bilaterally affected. Each had undergone quadricepsplasty with an average follow-up of 6 years 9 months. Bands or contractures, most commonly in vastus lateralis, the iliotibial tract and rectus femoris were seen in each. Redislocation was seen in 12 knees. At review, 79% of the knees were normal....

UNLABELLED We report here a unique case of a 3 year neglected rotatory tibiofemoral dislocation associated with a lateral patellar dislocation. The rotational deformity was gradually corrected using a Taylor spatial frame and the patella was realigned by tibial tubercle osteotomy and transfer. The patient also underwent multiple soft tissue releases and quadricepsplasty to improve knee flexion....

The existing research on the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) indicated that there were problems with some of the subscales and individual items. This study was designed to improve the instrument by following the standards of construct hierarchy. Through previous research and the analyses in this study, the subscales were found to contain some items that were homogeneous and others that were more ...
