Treatment of extraarticular knee extension contracture secondary to prolonged external fixation by a modified Judet quadricepsplasty technique
The goal of this study is to evaluate the functional results of the modified Judet quadricepsplasty for a knee extension contracture secondary to prolonged external fixation. This is a retrospective study of 31 patients with the diagnosis of an extraarticular knee extension contracture who had prolonged external fixation of the femur. Functional assessment was conducted after a minimum follow-u...
متن کاملJudet quadricepsplasty for extension contracture of the knee.
Extension contracture of the knee is a well known complication of severe femoral fractures, especially in the supracondylar region. Traditional management by the Thompson quadricepsplasty may result in a variable return of knee flexion and the possibility of significant extension lag. The Judet technique of quadricepsplasty offers the advantages of a controlled, sequential release of the intrin...
متن کاملModified Thompson quadricepsplasty to treat extension contracture of the knee after surgical treatment of patellar fractures.
BACKGROUND This retrospective study reported on the treatment of extension contracture of the knee after surgical treatment of patellar fractures. METHODS Twenty-eight patients who sustained extension contractures of the knee after surgical treatment of patellar fractures 8-14 months previously (mean, 12 months) were treated.

متن کاملPrognostic Factors Affecting the Results of Modified Thompson Quadricepsplasty for the Treatment of Extension Contracture of the Knee
Background: Knee extension contracture is a disabling complication after fractures around the knee. In this study we aimed to study factors influencing the outcomes of quadricepsplasty for the treatment of traumatic knee extension contracture. We hypothesized that there is no factor influencing the final range of knee motion.Methods: In this retrospective study, we included 64 patients who unde...
متن کاملA modified Thompson quadricepsplasty for extension contracture resulting from femoral and periarticular knee fractures.
BACKGROUND The lack of knee flexion is an increasingly recognized complication of femoral and periarticular knee fractures. This is a significant challenge for both surgeon and patients. METHODS This article reports the clinical outcomes of 40 knees in 40 patients who underwent a modified Thompson quadricepsplasty. They were 36 men and 4 women. We performed a modified Thompson quadricepsplast...
