Popliteal pterygium syndrome (PPS) is a rare genetic disorder that represents the association of a popliteal web with a combination of craniofacial, genitourinary, and extremity malformations. The management of fixed flexion deformity of the knee resulting from popliteal webbing, is of prime interest to the orthopaedist. The degree of popliteal webbing varies greatly. Due to this variable expression, various modalities to treat popliteal webbing exist. The presence of a short sciatic nerve in the free edge of a popliteal pterygium, is a limiting factor in surgical correction of this deformity. The popliteal web is typically the most difficult orthopaedic problem. The purpose of this report is to discuss the orthopaedic management of popliteal pterygium in eight patients.
腘窝翼状胬肉综合征（PPS）是一种罕见的遗传性疾病，表现为腘窝蹼与颅面、泌尿生殖及肢体畸形的联合。由腘窝蹼导致的膝关节固定屈曲畸形的处理，是骨科医生主要关注的问题。腘窝蹼的程度差异很大。由于这种可变的表现形式，存在多种治疗腘窝蹼的方式。在腘窝翼状胬肉游离边缘存在坐骨神经短缩，是该畸形手术矫正的一个限制因素。腘窝蹼通常是最棘手的骨科问题。本报告的目的是讨论8例腘窝翼状胬肉患者的骨科处理。
