Knee stiffness resulting from retraction of quadriceps muscle results in extended knee and limitation of flexion to varying degrees. This can be corrected by quadricepsplasty, which has several techniques. One of them is Thompson’s quadricepsplasty. Several modifications in Thompson’s quadricepsplasty have been tried previously to improve the patient outcomes in terms of improved flexion of knee without extension lag and to reduce complications. In our case report we did modifications in traditional Thompson’s technique and did VY lengthening of vastus lateralis and Z lengthening of fascia lata. The procedure was successful with no major complications and patient was able to walk normally with knee mobility from 0 to 100 degrees after one and half years from the procedure.
