Abstract
Purpose
This study evaluated the prognostic factors of modified Thompson quadricepsplasty for a stiff knee.
Materials and Methods
From February 1987 to February 2007, 38 knees of 38 patients were managed with modified Thompson quadricepsplasty for a stiff knee. Thirty three males and 5 females were enrolled with a mean age of 36 years. The average follow-up duration was 92 months (range, 18 to 133 months). The most common cause of the stiff knee was a fracture around the knee in 33 cases. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the prognostic factors.
