Decreased knee-flexion deformity as well as improved walking function were achieved in 91 per cent. An unsatisfactory result was associated with complications of the procedure. Only one knee of the forty-three that were operated on showed late genu recurvatum. This procedure appears to be both effective and relatively free of late comlications.
