Download PDF

Abstract

1. The nature of flexion contractures of the knee joint is discussed.

2. It is suggested that division of the anterior cruciate ligament will help in the correction of the deformity when conservative methods have failed.

3. The results of the treatment of twelve such knees are mentioned and illustrative cases are described.

4. It must be emphasised that this method of treatment should be undertaken only when conservative methods have failed.
