Various techniques to reconstruct a dislocated extensor mechanism have been described1-4. In the presence of severe osteoarthritis, total knee arthroplasty is a surgical option, which may be combined with realignment of the extensor mechanism. We report a new technique of total knee arthroplasty with proximal realignment of the extensor mechanism with use of a V-W quadricepsplasty (quadriceps turndown and medial advancement) in two patients. The patients were informed that data concerning the cases would be submitted for publication, and they consented.
