Quadriceps Cineplasty in a Patient with Bilateral Lower-Extremity Amputations

August W. Spittler 1 and Joseph W. Batch 1

1 Walter Reed Army Hospital, Washington, D. C.

The tunnel had sufficient excursion and strength to actively extend the leg section of a simple end-bearing prosthesis and to produce some stability and control in the artificial knee joint.
