Abstract
A unique case of knee extension contracture resulting from acute pelvic venous thrombosis is presented. Magnetic resonance imaging/angiography and electrodiagnosis aided in understanding the pathogenesis and hence in designing the treatment. Neuropathies contributed to the severity of the problem. Physical treatment to ease the edema improved knee joint range of motion but did not fully restore knee flexion.
