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...

We report a prospective study, using multivariate analysis, of the factors which influence the range of movement after total knee arthroplasty in 74 patients with 83 arthroplasties at a mean follow-up of 23.6 months (12 to 41). All the patients had a diagnosis of osteoarthritis, a severely disabled knee with a Knee Society system score of less than 60, varus deformity, no previous surgery to th...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for anterior knee pain in patients with cerebral palsy. METHODS This prospective study investigated the risk factors for anterior knee pain in 127 ambulatory patients with spastic cerebral palsy in terms of walking pain, resting pain, and provocative pain. Demographic data analysis and physical examination for measuring the kne...

PURPOSE This study compared the analgesic effects of local infiltration analgesia (LIA) and femoral nerve block (FNB) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and assessed factors associated with analgesia obtained by these two methods. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study subjects included 66 patients (72 knees) who underwent TKA for osteoarthritis of the knee. Pain visual analogue scale (VAS), the amount...

Abstract:   Objectives: Flexion contractures of the proximal interphalangeal joint are of the most common complication result from surgical procedures and traumatic events.  Orthotic interventions for treatment of contractures may include serial splinting, serial casting, dynamic and/ or static progressive orthoses, or a combination of these orthoses.  This study aimed to determine the effect ...

Severe knee flexion contracture greater than 80° is rare and challenging to manage. It is a common complication which occurs after a prolonged course of the rheumatoid arthritis. The case was a 45 year old female patient of Ama vata (rheumatoid arthritis) with sandhijadya and sankoca (contracture deformity) who was hospitalized for 2 months. She was unable to walk since 1 year due to contractur...

25 Joint contractures alter the mechanical properties of articular and muscular structures. 26 Reversibility of a contracture depends on the restoration of the elasticity of both structures. We 27 determined the differential contribution of articular and muscular structures to knee flexion 28 contractures during spontaneous recovery. 250 rats divided in 24 groups had 1 knee joint 29 surgically ...

To discuss the method and effect of total knee arthroplasty osteotomy and soft tissue release for serious knee joint space narrowing. Clinical data of 80 patients from October 2013 to December 2014 was selected with a retrospective method. All patients have undergone total knee arthroplasty. Then the X-rays plain film in weight loading was measured before and after operation and osteotomy was p...

Children with spina bifida develop a wide variety of congenital and acquired orthopedic deformities. Among these are hip deformities such as contracture, subluxation, or dislocation. Patients may also have problems with the knee joint, such as knee flexion or extension contracture, knee valgus deformity, or late knee instability and pain. In addition, rotational deformities of the lower extremi...

CONTEXT Lateral trunk-flexion strength is an important determinant of overall trunk stability and function, but the reliability in measuring this outcome clinically in athletic individuals is not known. OBJECTIVE To determine the interrater and intrarater reliability of lateral trunk-flexion strength measurement in athletic individuals using handheld dynamometry. DESIGN Reliability study. ...
