A Follow-up Study of Quadriceps Contracture

This study is based on the analysis of the results of 21 operated quadriceps contractures from 1954 to 1975.There were 13 proximal tenotomies of rectus tendon, 2 excisions of the scar in the muscle, 1 Thompson's quadriceps plasty, and 5 proximal tenotomies of rectus tendon with tendon transfer.The results of proximal tenotomy tends to the recurrence, but the results of proximal tenotomy with tendon transfer are satisfactory.
