    MethodsNineteen cases of extension contracture were operated upon by modified technique of Judet quadricepsplasty, one female and eighteen males. Results were evaluated by HSSKF score as well as Judet criteria.PurposeThe hypothesis is that recurrence of adhesions underneath the quadriceps leads to loss of some of the gained intraoperative flexion range.ResultsIn this series, flexion range deteriorates but this was found to be statistically non significant on the functional score of the patients.Copyright © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
