[Fatigue tibial fracture coexistent with severe degenerative changes of the knee in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis].
The authors present a case of fatigue fracture of the proximal tibia with concurrent degenerative changes of the knee in a 53 year old patient with rheumatoid arthritis. The patient was treated surgically with a hinge-rotation prothesis. The procedure yielded pain relief, correction of the axis of the lower limb with progressive bone union.
