Abstract:
The 98 cases of knee flexion deformity after poliomyelitis were treated in our department. The treatment selection for diffrent degrees of the flexion deformity are discussed. The flexion less that 20? need plaster cast only. The flexion from 20? to 30? can fully correct with su pracondylar femoral osteotomy. In the flexion more that 30?, the skele(?)al traction into inferior tibia should be done previously, then supracondylar femoral osteotomy carried out to correct the flexion less that 30? siter traction. It is pointed out that the muscle balance operation must be done as soon as the flexion was corrected. The muscle balance operation can prevent from recurrence of the deformity and (?)limilate the factor recurrent.
