Knee joint recurvation is among motor disorders in patient with infantile cerebral paralysis (ICP). The work was initiated to define methods for diagnosis and correction of knee joint recurvation in 23 patients with ICP. Knee joint recurvation in the infantile cerebral paralysis can arise either from weakness of tendoligamentous component of the segment or due to pathological contractures in the adjacent lower extremity's joints. The suggested method to diagnose knee joint recurvation is expedient in determination of mechanisms of deformity development and its differentiation primacy. Analysis of orthopedic and surgical methods of management demonstrated their efficacy and necessity of their timely performance with recurvation variants and the deformity severity taken into account.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
