Longterm followup of hip and knee soft tissue release in juvenile chronic arthritis
Longterm results of soft tissue release for hip and knee flexion mity in 27 patients with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) were evaluated. A total of 53 tenotomies were reviewed: 22 hips and 31 knees. Mean age at surgery was 12.1 years, with a mean underlying disease duration of 6.3 years and a post...
