title: Instability after total knee replacement with a mobile-bearing prosthesis in a patient with multiple sclerosis.
abstract: We describe a patient with multiple sclerosis (MS), who developed recurrent dislocations after total knee arthroplasty. She had both knees replaced using similar mobile-bearing knee prostheses, but the outcome was worse in the leg which was more severely affected with MS.
