The phrase "a contracture for" is not correct in standard written English.
It may be intended to refer to a specific type of contracture related to a medical condition, but the phrase lacks clarity and context.
Example: "The patient was diagnosed with a contracture for the affected muscle group."
Alternatives: "a contracture of" or "a contracture affecting".
According to Simon's integrated hypothesis [ 23, 28], excessive release of acetylcholine in some dysfunctional motor endplates causes a contracture responsible for the appearance of the taut band in the affected muscle.
Due to the lack of any serious complications, this technique is being utilized as the first line of treatment for any contracture, but especially for contracted joints, such as volar plate release or in children in whom caring for a contracture is extremely difficult by conventional means.
Hence, hand profiles were described by anatomically consistent images rendered by a medical artist using a 3-dimensional hand model allowing for precise control of joint contracture for each finger.
Thus, the impairments were the summed degrees of MCP and PIP joint contracture for each finger.
For all 159 treated fingers for which follow-up measurements were available, mean post-treatment contracture for the MCP joints was 9° (SD 14, median 0), and for the PIP joints it was 15° (SD 18, median 10).
For all hands, mean MCP contracture for the treated finger (the finger with the most severe total extension deficit in hands with more than 1 treated finger) was 43º (SD 27, median 45), mean PIP contracture was 36º (SD 29, median 33), and mean total extension deficit was 79º (SD 34, median 75).
The aim of this study was to report on a new technique for the effective release of contractures for wide scars using reversed Z-plasty and its variations.
A functional classification of joints allows to best appreciate the importance of joint contractures for the most movable joints, diarthrodial, to synarthroses which are joints characterized by very little to no movement.
Time spent in the ICU was a significant risk factor for contracture; a stay of 8 weeks or longer was associated with a significantly greater risk of any joint contracture than a stay of 2 to 3 weeks [ 11].
Spontaneous recovery of rat knee contractures for 4 weeks allowed full reversal of 1-week-old contractures.
