ABSTRACT
We report our experience of surgical treatment for instability of flail knees after poliomyelitis in 228 patients. We made carefully selective use of soft-tissue release, extension osteotomy of the femur, and a patellar bone block for hyperextension. After six to nine years follow-up, 87% of the patients had retained significant improvement in stability and walking ability.
