Abstract
Follow up study of quadricepsplasty was done on 28 cases with the knee contracture due to femoral fracture. These cases were followed for an average of 92 months. Mean range of motion, being 39.2 before operation, changed to that of 105.8. At the follow up, the mean angle of extension lag was 5.5, and this caused no patients' complains. It may be important for good final results to get more than 110 flexion angle at operation and to do proper rehabilitation.
