TRANSPLANTATION OF THE BICEPS FEMORIS TO THE PATELLA BY THE MEDIAL ROUTE IN POLIOMYELITIC QUADRICEPS PARALYSIS

Gene D. Caldwell M.D.1

1 Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children, Shreveport

1. The biceps femoris, when transplanted to the patella by the medial route in order to compensate for quadriceps paralysis, gives as good a functional result as when transplanted by other methods.

2. The objectionable complication of patellar dislocation is completely eliminated when the biceps femoris transplantation is done by the medial route.
