[Endoprosthesis of the knee joint].
Endoprosthetic replacement of the knee joint is an important, often the terminal stage of surgical treatment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and gonarthritis. Basing on the results of the over-11-year-experience of the ward, treatment methods were analyzed and various knee prostheses were evaluated. In evaluation, the modified Gschwend's scale was used. Nineteen results were good 18 fair, and 7 poor. An especially important role of proper qualification of a patient to surgery, conditions for insertion of endoprosthesis and the choice of a proper type of endoprosthesis has been stressed.
