[Non-free osteochondrous autoplasty in surgery of tuberculosis of the knee joint].
A new procedure for arthroplasty in tuberculous gonitis was developed by the author. The principal peculiarity of the procedure is the use of a nonfree osteocartilaginous autotransplant which is the best biological plastic material for replacing defects in the knee joint edge. The transplant is dissected from the patella joint surface and its feeding pedicle is formed of the soft tissues fixed to the outer kneecap border. Blood is supplied for the transplant by the anterior tibial recurrent artery located in the transplant pedicle. The procedure was applied to 10 patients with tuberculosis of the knee joint. The results of the treatment were good.
