title: Outcome measurement in the treatment of extensor mechanism difficulties of the knee.
abstract: The authors' underlying philosophy is to use a standardized data package to collect information prospectively. This allows for the clinical evaluation and research of extensor mechanism disabilities. The use of a system of data management allows meaningful follow-up comparisons. Thus, one patient at a time, a surgeon's experience is documented.
