- W2211287535 abstract "Introduction and Aims: We present the preliminary results of patellar tendon shortening (PTS), for severe crouch gait in children with spastic cerebral palsy who were household ambulators. Method: We performed bilateral patellar tendon shortening in 15 patients with severe spastic diplegia between May 1996 and January 2002. The majority had acquired crouch gait because of isolated lengthening of the Achilles tendons in childhood and presented with anterior knee pain and rapidly deteriorating gait and function. The PTS procedure included dividing the patellar tendon in its mid portion, and performing an overlapping repair by suturing the distal tendon to the distal pole of the patella and the proximal segment to the tibial tubercle. The corrected position of the patella was maintained by a K-wire passed transversely through the patella and incorporated into a cylinder plaster, with the knee in extension, for a period of six weeks. Correction of knee flexion deformity was achieved by transfer of semitendonosis to the distal femur or extension osteotomy of the distal femur. Results: Rehabilitation was predictably slow but all patients regained their pre-operative mobility status within one year and the majority surpassed their pre-operative functional level by two years after surgery. There were no tendon ruptures or growth disturbance in the proximal tibia. Average age at the time of surgery was 14.2 years (10–19 years). Mean follow-up was 27 months (12–48 months). Pre- and post-operative Insall index in 17 knees was 0.68cm (0.46 to 1.07cm, SD=0.16cm) and 0.85cm (0.56 to 1.08cm, SD=0.20) respectively (p Conclusion: Severe crouch gait after appropriate surgical and orthotic management, maybe due to patella alta, quadriceps and ankle plantarflexors insufficiency. We present preliminary results of a salvage procedure, patellar tendon shortening, which seems a reasonable option to treat complex crouch gait in selected patients with cerebral palsy." @default.
