[Knee arthroplasty - another late result 34 years later].
This description of a 34-year course of a knee-joint arthroplasty after fibrous ankylosing of the knee joint due to shell-splinter injury and lower-leg amputation contralaterally is intended to draw attention once again to this method of treatment. In particular, the great importance of co-operation by the patient in this method of treatment is underlined. Even today, allo-arthroplasty is in such cases no alternative offering a more favourable prognosis when compared with the long-term result obtained by means of the method described.
