Our experiences in total condylar knee replacement

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of total knee replacement using endoprostheses. The material consisted of 78 knee endoprostheses in 68 patients operated in our Clinic over a 3-and-a-half-year period beginning in March 1995. Outcome assessment was based on clinical and radiological examinations before and after surgery, with due regard for the patient's subjective evaluation. The average follow-up period was 13 months. The majority of the patients were found to have improved walk efficiency, eliminated or reduced pain, improved mobility, corrected limb axis, and excellent subjective evaluation.
