Rehabilitation for femoral retroversion an uncommon phenomenon post supracondylar femur fracture - A case report

Abstract

The most frequent cause of the malrotation of the femur, which frequently goes undiagnosed, is supracondylar femur fractures. This case describes a 55year-old man who had a supracondylar femur fracture in his right lower limb.Because of the neglect, the patient has an external rotation deformity. An external rotation deformity was present in the right lower limb. This patient received physiotherapy treatment. The exterior rotation deformity needed to be corrected was the major priority. Exercises with resistance bands, Mulligan Mobilization, and Myofascial Release Technique were used. The Lower Extremity Functional Scale, the SF36 for Quality of Life, and Manual Muscle Testing were only a few of the outcome measures used. When scores were compared before and after physiotherapy, a significant positive effect was seen. The external rotation deformity of the hip can be treated with physiotherapy, which also helps the patient's quality of life. The patient's condition and quality of life were significantly enhanced by the treatment plan we adopted to fix the External Rotation Deformity.

Comprehensive rehabilitation after supracondylar comminuted femur fracture managed with ORIF plate in osteosynthesis: A case report

“…An inter condylar zone connects the condyles to the articular surfaces and a supracondylar region connects the Meta diaphyseal junction to the condyles in the distal femur (Kochar et al, 2021). Supracondylar femur fractures are difficult to treat (Somaiya et al, 2022).…”
