Abstract

This chapter divided into four parts i.e. quadriceps contracture, bursae around the knee, stiff knee and hemophilic arthropathy of the knee. Quadriceps contracture could develop due to congenital or acquired causes. It is the latter that is more common. Conservative methods, surgical methods, postoperative protocol and Thompson’s quadricepsplasty are the treatment options for quadriceps contracture. Bursae are a sac lined by a membrane similar to synovium. These are usually located around a joint or at points where the tendon moves over a bony prominence. Loss of motion at the knee joint leads to an extremely crippling deformity not only in terms of functional loss but in the certain professions can also lead to loss of occupation. Hemophilia A and B are X-linked coagulation disorders caused by the deficiency of factor VIII and factor IX respectively. Physiotherapy and medical management are the management options of hemophilic arthropathy of the knee.
