    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Rheumatology

    Context:

    • Severe bilateral gonarthrosis, frequently linked to rheumatoid arthritis, presents significant challenges in joint function.
    • The Guepar-endoprosthesis was utilized for knee joint replacement in patients with advanced gonarthrosis.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of Guepar-endoprosthesis implantation for severe bilateral gonarthrosis.
    • To assess the complication rates, including infection and aseptic loosening, associated with this prosthetic device.

    Summary:

    • Forty patients with severe bilateral gonarthrosis underwent implantation of 42 Guepar-endoprostheses between 1977 and 1982.
    • One prosthesis was removed due to infection; two cases of aseptic loosening were successfully managed with reimplantation.
    • The study highlights a low complication rate and positive outcomes for Guepar-endoprosthesis in this patient cohort.

    Impact:

    • The findings suggest Guepar-endoprosthesis implantation is a viable and effective treatment option for severe gonarthrosis, particularly when rheumatoid arthritis is the underlying cause.
    • This study provides valuable long-term data on the performance of Guepar-endoprostheses, informing future orthopedic surgical practices.
