To describe a case of quadriceps tendon rupture in a patient with postanoxic choreoathetotic movements.
A 20-year-old man was admitted to a rehabilitation hospital after anoxic brain injury. As a result of the injury, he developed continuous flowing choreoathetotic movements. He contracted fever and swollen and painful right knee, and only when periarticular edema decreased did a suprapatellar gap appear and quadriceps tendon rupture was diagnosed.
Considering the possibility of tendon rupture when evaluating a patient with non-volitional movements and 'arthritic' presentation in a rehabilitation setting, may prevent delay of quadriceps surgical repair.
描述一例患有缺氧后舞蹈样徐动症的患者发生股四头肌肌腱断裂的病例。
一名20岁男性在缺氧性脑损伤后入住康复医院。由于此次损伤,他出现了持续的、流畅的舞蹈样徐动症。他出现发热,右膝肿胀疼痛,仅在关节周围水肿消退后,髌上间隙才出现,股四头肌肌腱断裂得以确诊。
在康复环境中评估有非自主性运动和“关节炎”表现的患者时,考虑肌腱断裂的可能性,可能会避免股四头肌手术修复的延迟。
