Abstract:
Various surgical methods including soft tissue procedures and bone procedures are commonly used to treat knee flexion and contracture deformity. However, several complications such as, neurovascular injury and skin necrosis were reported because of rapid correction. We aim to report good results from gradual correction using Ilizarov following supracondylar osteotomy in a 24-year-old man suffering from fused knee flexion and valgus deformity, a complication developed by septic arthritis.
