On presentation to our clinic, she was noted to have significant degenerative disease in addition to chronic extensor mechanism deficiency.

The patient has had an excellent result postoperatively including return of full range of motion without residual extensor lag.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352344115001120Total knee arthroplastyExtensor mechanism deficiencyTibial tubercle osteotomy
