[Longterm results of McIntosh hemiarthroplasty of the knee in patients with rheumatoid arthritis of the knee].
A series of 35 knees operated on between 1967 and 1977 was reviewed. The follow up of 5 years or longer revealed over 40% of excellent and good results. The analysis of over 50% of poor results is suggestive of inadequate indications for hemiarthroplasty of the knee. In authors opinion Mc Intosh procedure should be still performed providing the indications are very accurate.
