Not illustrated. 1917 Excerpt: ...knock-knee. This consists in partial division of the lower end of the femur from the inner side just above the inner condyle of the femur, and by means of reasonable force fracturing the knee into a straight position. The difficulty about the operation is that the circulation and the innervation in cases severe enough to have acquired a knockknee of this grade are none too good, and although fractures unite perfectly well.. it would mean a long disuse of the leg and possibly some impairment of function. It is on the whole a proceeding not to be lightly undertaken, but perfectly proper if it becomes necessary for function. Hyperextension of the Knee.--If this deformity, which is generally due to weakening or paralysis of the quadriceps muscle combined with weak or paralyzed hamstring muscles, is allowed to persist uncorrected, the knee not only bends further and further backward, but becomes loose laterally. Such knees as a rule are irritable and troublesome, the synovial membrane is thickened and fluid is present. No operation short of arthrodesis, which is generally inadvisable, is of any value, but the use of a brace to prevent hyperextension of the knee is desirable. In cases where in walking the knee hyperextends even to a slight extent the use of a brace, such as the caliper described with a posterior strap, checking hyperextension is desirable and, if constantly worn, slight cases of hyperextension weakness may often be cured of the deformity. If not treated such hyperextension may reach a high degree as shown in the illustration (Fig. 62). DEFORMITY AT THE HIP Probably the most troublesome deformity except scoliosis in infantile paralysis consists of a flexion deformity of the hip due to a contraction of the tensor fasciae femoris muscle, which may e...
