[Knee joint prosthesis with the geomedic knee joint (author's transl)].
Thirty-one cases of plastic knee joint operations were reported. Twenty-one patients were treated with the geomedic knee. The advantage of this joint is that only a small amount of bone must be sacraficed. The range of movement is better than that with a complete knee prosthesis with axis.
