Restricted motion of the knee occurs frequently after an intra-articular fracture of the distal femur. Treatment of this complication typically requires open release of the quadriceps muscle. To our knowledge an arthroscopically assisted method of performing a quadricepsplasty has not been previously described. We present such a case and the details of the arthroscopically assisted method that may provide an alternative, minimally invasive means of restoring knee flexion in the setting of a post-traumatic extension contracture.
股骨远端关节内骨折后，膝关节活动受限的情况很常见。这种并发症的治疗通常需要切开松解股四头肌。据我们所知，此前尚未描述过关节镜辅助下进行股四头肌成形术的方法。我们介绍这样一个病例以及关节镜辅助方法的细节，该方法可能提供一种替代的、微创的手段，用于在创伤后伸直挛缩的情况下恢复膝关节屈曲。
