[|Human|] my son is 15 yrs old and he is CP child. he got operated 4 yrs back for lenthening tendan of left leg. after operation he has got tendency of bending knee while walking. although he is having reguler physiotherapy day one after 3 months of said operation. i just wanted your advice that how to correct this bending of knee problem.
[|AI|]  Hi, It is common to have joint contractures / stiffening in child Chat Doctor.  This is because of abnormally high muscle tone. If we are able to straighten the knee fully passively, this indicates a dynamic contracture which will respond to intensive physiotherapy. If stiffening is severe enough to prevent full straightening, this indicates static contracture demanding surgical release, as done before for ankle joint. Kindly discuss with your orthopedist and physiotherapist. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
