Abstract
Distal elongation of the hamstrings was performed for contracture due to neurogenic disorders in 66 patients. A follow-up study on 34 of the patients with cerebral palsy is reported here. The success of the operation was judged by functional evaluation including joint measurement and gait analysis. The advantages of this operation and the need for prolonged aftercare are discussed. La contracture d'origine neurologique a été corrigée chez 66 malades par allongement des ischiojambiers au niveau de leurs tendons terminaux. L'article étudie les résultats à long terme obtenus chez 34 infirmes moteurs cérébraux. L'efficacité de l'intervention a été évaluée sur le plan fonctionnel d'après la mobilité articulaire et la qualité de la marche. La discussion porte sur les avantages de cette opération et la nécessité de soins post-opératoires prolongés.Keywords
