Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Non union patella with quadriceps contracture is an unusual orthopaedic finding. Very few cases have recorded in the past have been recorded with similar findings. We record a case of 45 year male with non union patella with quadriceps contracture secondary to trauma. Case Report: A 45 year male with post traumatic non union patella with quadriceps contracture since 6months presented in the O.P.D. with complaints of defect in right knee with restriction of movements. The roentogram of right knee confirmed our findings. He underwent Quadricepsplasty with Tension Band Wiring for the patella followed by rigorous physiotherapy to achieve current level of knee flexion of 110 degrees. Conclusion: Thus we conclude that quadricepsplasty with tension band wiring is one the good modalities of treatment for a non union patella associated with quadriceps contracture.
