Non-Surgical Methods for Correction of Knee Flexion Contracture.
Knee flexion contractures have presented problems for the physical rehabilitation of hemophilic patients. These deformities reduce the functional mobility of the patient and their presence increases the amount of energy which is expended in walking. Hinges which extend the knee and tend to desublux the tibia are incorporated in plaster cylinders. Daily adjustments are made in the extension and subluxation screws. Serial castings may be required when correcting a flexion deformity greater than 30-35 degrees. Maximum correction can be expected in two to three weeks. Maintenance of the corrected position is vital and is obtained through a sequence of cylinder and open-front castings. The extension desubluxation hinge and the open-front cylinder cast will be demonstrated and discussed.
