| Popis: | A 47-year-old woman presented with a disabling fixed flexion deformity of the knee and an equinus deformity of the ankle following treatment in a cast for a minor flexion deformity following a tibial plateau fracture. Two years later, the cause was identified as an isolated ischaemic contracture involving the medial head of gastrocnemius. She made a good recovery following extensive corrective surgery and rehabilitation. |
