Guest guest Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 This is the procedure you are talking about and it is only for patients with a long term fusion. You can do some research under the name of the surgeon that developed the technique " Judet Quadricepsplasty " Ask your surgeon the typical questions that you should be concerned with: success rate, complication rate, number of procedures they have done, etc. Any procedure after long term fusion is going to take slow steady work over a period of months so you need to speak with your surgeon to understand what is expected of you and for how long. You may also want to ask to speak with any physical therapists that have worked with patients who have had this procedure. I have not seen this procedure in my 16 years as a therapist but it does not mean that there are not other therapists who know the rehab involved.
