[Endoprosthetic management of tabes dorsalis arthropathy].
Three special cases of tabic arthropathy are reported. The disease is displayed in detail. One case showed an aneurysma of the arteria ulnaris. After resection of the aneurysma conservative treatment was performed. In a second case with active not yet diagnosed tabic hip a cemented total hip was implanted, which failed only 9 weeks later. The third case was an inactive tabic hip joint. The implantation of a cementless Autophor hip proved well. Total joint replacement has not to be performed in an active state of the disease, but can be done after consolidation. The significance of the VDRL-test for justing the activity of the disease is displayed.
