Supracondylar femoral osteotomy for knee flexion contracture resulting from poliomyelitis.
Supracondylar femoral osteotomy was performed on 82 patients between 8 and 25 years of age to correct knee flexion contractures of 15 to 95 degrees resulting from poliomyelitis. Seven who could not walk before the osteotomy could do so afterwards and 21 out of22 patients were cured ofa hand-knee gait. Thirty-four of53 who walked with a caliper were able to discard it. Residual flexion contractu...

Background: Deficits in upper body movement have received little attention during gait in cerebral palsy (CP) children with crouch gait pattern (CGP).Objective: Purpose of this research is to describe the correlation of trunk movement with the excessive knee flexion and ankle kinematic in CP children with CGP.Methods: Gait analysis data from 57 limbs of diplegic CP children with CGP and 26 limb...
متن کاملPost-operative Hypertension following Correction of Flexion Deformity of the Knees in a Spastic Diplegic Child: A Case Report
An adolescent boy with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy presented with crouch gait. He had bilateral severe flexion deformities of knees and hips. He was treated with single event multilevel surgery for the correction of deformities. Surgical procedures included bilateral adductor release, iliopsoas lengthening, bilateral femoral shortening and patella plication. Persistent hypertension was note...
متن کاملAssessment of the Hip and Knee Flexion Contractures in Cerebral Palsy Patients with Crouch Gait Çömelme Pozisyonunda Yürüyen Beyin Felçli Hastalarda Kalça ve Dizdeki Fleksiyon
The knee is the most affected joint in children with cerebral palsy. Flexion contracture of the knee is the cause of the crouch gait pattern, instability in stance phase of gait, and difficulties during standing and sitting, and other daily living activities. Hip flexion contracture in crouch gait is mostly compensation of the knee flexion contracture and ankle equines. The psoas muscle is the ...
متن کاملHip flexion contracture and diminished functional outcomes in cerebral palsy.
BACKGROUND Hip flexion contracture (HFC) in the ambulatory child with cerebral palsy (CP) may impair function and lead to deteriorations in health-related quality of life. Furthermore, increasing HFC may lead to increasing disability. However, the association between passive range of motion and the measures of function and well-being is unclear. This study was designed to determine whether incr...
