Abstract
The aim of this paper is to present a treatment for scars based on percutaneous traction. This is a structural technique in which movements are performed against the barriers detected in different planes. The stages of this technique are described in detail along with the results after applying it to a postarthroscopic scar on a knee. The active and passive mobility of femoro-tibial and femoro-patellar articulations improved substantially after the treatment, as verified by signs such as pain relief, greater flexibility, disappearance of inflammation and a major recovery of tissue elasticity. A sonoelastography study of the portals and patellar tendon was carried out before and after therapy, showing semiquantitatively the recovery of the viscoelastic properties of the tissue.
