To examine important factors in the range of motion of the knee after fractures including the knee: supracondylar and condylar fractures of the femur and tibial condylar fractures, ranges of motion finally obtained after operations in 77 cases were investigated. Five factors which seemed to affect the range of motion were selected and analized statistically: the site of the fracture, the period of post-operative immobilization, the method of internal fixation, the period between injury and operation, and the age of patients. Analysis by Quantification 1 showed that the most important factor affecting the final range of motion was the site of fracture, and the period of post-operative immobilization followed. It appears that in the femur intra- and extra-articular tissues are easier to adhesion. So to avoid the contracture after operation, motion exercise should be started as early as possible if the fracture was well fixed.
