THOMPSON’S QUADRICEPSPLASTY

Abstract

Background: Posttraumatic and/or postsurgical KNEE STIFFNESS is one of the orthopedic complications which is difficult to be treatedand can affect individual’s life negatively. The aim of this study is to investigate the results of quadricepsplasty in patients with kneestiffness resulted from femoral fracture. Materials and Methods: This is a cross‑sectional study on all patients with femoral fracturewhich has caused knee flexion limitation referred to Kashani and Al‑Zahra Hospitals in Isfahan from January 2010 to March 2013. Thetype and site of fracture, joint extension, and fracture fixation technique were recorded. Moreover, the range of motion (ROM) beforesurgery, under general anesthesia, and 3‑ and 6‑month postoperation were measured.Results: Among the patients, 13 had a simplefracture (48%) and 14 had a segmental fracture (51.9%). Considering the fracture site, 11, 10, and 6 patients had femoral (40.74%), supracondylar (37.3%), and femoral supracondylar (22.2%) fractures, respectively. The fracture fixation was performed by theplate, external, and Wagner fixation techniques for 24 (88.9%), 2 (7.4%), and 1 (3.7%) patients, respectively. The mean ROM beforeoperation, under general anesthesia, and 3‑ and 6‑month postoperation were determined to be 33.15 o ± 24.73 o, 122.60 o ± 10.22o, 99.63 o ± 16.52 o, and 100.74 o ± 15.67 o, respectively. The mean ROM value at various stages was not similar (P<0.001). The meanchanges in the ROM were 79.2 o ± 24.6 o and 62.1 o ± 19.7 o in the cases with simple and segmental fractures, respectively. The meanchanges in the knee ROM were significantly higher in simple fractures in comparison with the segmental femoral fracture (P=0.03).Conclusion: We found THOMPSON’S QUADRICEPSPLASTY may successfully increase the range of knee flexion in knee fracture and alsoregardless of quadriceps time.
