Statement of theproblem: Currentlyitis of utmostimportance to keep in mindone of themaincomplicationsorsequelaethatgeneratevariousjoint and periarticular conditionslocated in theknee and thatresult in decreased flexion and extensionmovements and isknown as jointstiffness, thereis a surgicaltherapeuticalternativecalledminimallyinvasivequadriceplastythat can restore flexion movementsthathavebeenalteredbythispathology. TheWorldHealthOrganizationemphasizesthatone of themostimportantstandards in thearea of traumatology and orthopedicshospitalizationisthe time ittakes to perform a surgicalprocedurefromthe time of diagnosis to theday of surgery. Knowingorknowingthissurgicaltechniquewouldfacilitate and reduce the time of choosingtheprocedure, sinceitwould be used in specificsituationssuch as, forexample: active militarywith a diagnosis of jointstiffness, alreadywithotherconditionstreated, and withlimitation to flexion and extension of thekneewithouthavingperformedanotherquadriceplastybefore. Objective: to determine theclinicaloutcome of percutaneousquadriceplastybyassessingthe pre- and post-surgicalrange of motion in patientswithkneejointstiffnesssecondary to peri- and intra-articular conditions.
