Hi
My daughter is 7 years old, she got the fame for 7 months and got 4.5 CM on her femur. now after one month of frmae removal her keen is very stiffed.
she can bend up to 130 but she can't straight the leg
is it normal after femure lengthen. how long it takes to back to normal?
How bad is the stiff knee? Maybe send a picture or provide the degrees. Most stiff knees, when just subtle can be resolved with physical therapy over the course of some weeks to months.
hi, the bending is very good she can reach 120 degree but when straight she is losing 45 degree.
??
That is a very low degree for only 4.5cm. What did the doctor say?
doctor say it will take time as this was in femure and we need alot of physo ...
is that true?
Yes, that is true. Maybe because she is so young. I think in 2-3 months she will be fine.

Did you take her to other doctors?
Some knee contracture will not be solved unless tendons or ligaments release surgeries are performed.
If her doctor doesn’t know much about these surgeries, better to find other experts

she only 1 month after frame removal , i knew that people takes times and they need at least 3-6 months.
is stiffed knee common with such cases.
is there any risk that it will be permanent?

The doctor should have prevented with PT during lengthening and tendon release surgeries when putting frames
Good doctors don’t let patients have such a severe contracture
45degree knee bending seems too much
Without surgery she might stay with contracture for years
Please consult a decent doctor ASAP
Poor little girl
she can bend up to 120 degree but the problem with straightening the leg(extension) she lost 45 degree .
will this make a difference .
worst case scenario if we had do do surgeory, does surgery fixing the issue?
