THE ROLES OF THE QUADRICEPSPLASTY IN TREATMENTS OF POST- TRAUMATIC STIFF KNEE (USING JUDET PROCEDURE)

Abstract

The lack of knee flexion is an increasingly recognized complication especially after trauma. This is a significant challenge for both surgeon and patients. In 1956, Judet proposed a quadricepsplasty technique that allowed for a graded release without the disruption of the vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, or rectus femoris
