title: Is arthroplasty of the knee with fascia lata still valid?
abstract: A case of arthroplasty of the knee with fascia lata is presented, in a young patient who was followed up after more than ten years, with a very satisfactory functional result. This operation is certainly not new and has been abandoned by most surgeons. In our case, however, it was shown to be still effective.
