About Quadricepsplasty

Quadricepsplasty is a specialized orthopedic surgical procedure designed to restore knee extension and improve mobility in patients with severe quadriceps muscle contracture or fibrosis. This condition, often resulting from prolonged immobilization, trauma, or previous surgeries, causes the quadriceps tendon to shorten, severely limiting the ability to straighten the knee. The surgery involves carefully releasing or lengthening the contracted quadriceps tendon and associated scar tissue. Performed by an orthopedic surgeon, the goal is to increase the range of motion, reduce pain, and enhance overall knee function. It is a crucial intervention for regaining independence in walking and daily activities when conservative treatments like physical therapy have failed.

Key Highlights

Restores the ability to fully straighten (extend) the knee joint.Significantly improves overall range of motion and functional mobility.Alleviates chronic pain associated with knee stiffness and contracture.Enhances gait (walking pattern) and stability.Can prevent long-term joint degeneration caused by abnormal mechanics.Offers a surgical solution when extensive physical therapy is no longer effective./ul

Who is this surgery for?

Quadriceps fibrosis or contracture following a femoral fracture and prolonged immobilization.
Post-traumatic knee stiffness that does not respond to conservative management.
Complications from previous knee surgeries leading to loss of extension.
Arthrofibrosis (excessive scar tissue) within and around the knee joint.
Certain congenital conditions causing quadriceps shortening.
Severe cases of patella baja (low-riding kneecap) due to tendon shortening.

How to prepare

Comprehensive orthopedic evaluation including physical exam and imaging (X-rays, MRI).
Detailed discussion with the surgeon about goals, risks, and expected outcomes.
Pre-operative blood tests, ECG, and chest X-ray as required for anesthesia clearance.
Discontinuation of certain medications (e.g., blood thinners) as advised by the doctor.
Arranging for assistance at home during the initial recovery period.
Fasting for 8-12 hours before the scheduled surgery time.

Risks & possible complications

Infection at the surgical site.
Bleeding or hematoma formation.
Damage to nerves or blood vessels surrounding the knee.
Blood clots (Deep Vein Thrombosis).
Re-rupture or failure of the tendon repair.
Persistent stiffness or re-development of contracture.
Anesthesia-related risks.
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

Recovery & hospital stay

Initial hospital stay for pain management and monitoring.
Knee immobilized in a brace or cast initially, transitioning to a hinged brace.
Aggressive and structured physical therapy begins early to maintain the gained motion.
Use of a Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) machine may be recommended.
Strict adherence to weight-bearing restrictions as prescribed by the surgeon.
Pain management with medications and regular follow-up visits to monitor progress.
Long-term commitment to home exercises is crucial for optimal results.

Typical hospital stay: 2-4 days
Expected recovery time: 3-6 months for full functional recovery
