Injection fibrosis in the quadriceps femoris muscle in children
PK Mukherjee and AK Das
Fifty cases of quadriceps contracture in thirty-seven children were
studied. All of the children had had intramuscular injections into the
thigh. All were treated by operative elongation of the quadriceps muscles.
The results of the operation were good in thirty cases, fair in eleven, and
poor in nine.
