title: A new knee prosthesis.
abstract: A new knee prosthesis is described, with a 7-8 year follow-up of 14 cases. It is a hinge prosthesis with cortex bearing flanged stems reproducing the shape of the bones, self orientating and self-fixing. It can be used with or without cement. The results are very satisfactory.
