[Fibrosis of the rectus femoris muscle (author's transl)]. 1978

A Varna

The author presents seven cases of isolated fibrosis of the rectus femoris muscle. The retraction of the rectus femoris muscle is characterized clinically by limping and the blocking of the knee flexion in the movement of the hip articulation in fixed in extension. The hip flexion immediately permits the knee flexion. The tenomiotomy of the proximal insertions of the muscle led in all cases to the disparition of the limping and to complete freedom of movement of the knee flexion.
