[Application of the "Taylor Spatial Frame" with unilateral implantation of a medial sledge prosthesis after posttraumatic dislocation of the femur. A complicated progression].
For years the Ilizarov fixator has been an established method for the treatment of orthopedic and trauma patients. The Taylor Spatial Frame is a software-navigated hexapod construction on the basis of the Ilizarov fixator. Unicompartmental arthroplasty of the knee is an option especially in medial osteoarthritis. The therapeutic procedure with a complicated development is illustrated by a case report on a patient with post-traumatic deformity of the femur and medial osteoarthritis of the knee.
