Extensor contractures of the knee are one of the most severe consequences of lower limb injuries and their treatment is one of the complex problems of modern traumatology and orthopaedics. Among the consequences of musculoskeletal injuries, they are the cause of disability in 14-57% of cases.

Improving the methods of diagnosis, degree, nature, depth and prevalence of pathological processes remains an urgent medical task, the solution of which will make it possible to develop new approaches to improve the effectiveness of treatment of this complex pathology.
