Abstract:
Total knee replacement has been carried out in the 4 knees of 2 patients for spontaneous bony ankylosis. Minimally constrained prostheses were used because the ligaments were usually intact and the patellofemoral and tibiofemoral joint lines could be re-established. The approach and repair was by a V-Y quadricepsplasty. Satisfactory results were obtained.
