[Revision of arthrodesis of the knee using total prosthesis. Case report].
The authors report the case of a 62-year-old patient whose desire to recover mobility of the knee, arthrodesed 22 years ago, led them to perform a total arthroplasty. The result was satisfactory. The contraindications and implications of such procedures are discussed with reference to 13 other cases reported in the literature.
